“Whether we like it or not ICT has come and it has come to stay. So, we better join the rest of Ugandans and use our ICT wisely because if we don’t use it, other people will go ahead and we stay behind. So, we should embrace it positively. It can help us in so many ways, for instance in accessing information,” Aate advised.
While presiding over the function, Vicent Mugenyi, the Koboko deputy RDC said what MTN has done is part of the government’s vision 2040.
“We thank MTN Uganda for helping our government to fulfill part of its target, and you people of Koboko make sure that you make good use of this resource centre lab funded by MTN. What I have realized in Koboko is that at least 80 per cent of the people use MTN so, we thank you for giving back to these people. At least try to give them more,” Mugenyi said.
