The Minister of Communications, Barr. Adebayo Shittu had announced two days ago that the Federal Executive Council, presided by Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has approved a 3-year ICT roadmap between 2017 – 2020. “Today, we are happy that at last, the ICT roadmap 2017 – 2020 has been approved for implementation by the government,” Shittu announced to Journalists.
