Adigwe said that the organisation wanted specific collaboration and partnership that would ensure promotion of Information and Communication Technologies, ICT innovation and investment to ensure maximum optimisation and usage.
Responding, Danbatta said the commission had invested heavily in ICT intervention in schools and organisations, saying that it had budgetary constraints at the moment as the finance meant for such projects had been effectively utilised.
He advised the guests to generate a short code, which people can call and get desired information, adding that the NCC would gladly give it a short code to entertain inquiries from the public.
