The exploration and application of systems, computers, and telecommunications for the storage, retrieval, and transmission of information are pivotal for global development. Recognizing the indispensable role of Information Technology (IT), I am committed to propelling Oyo State to the forefront of progress. As a foundational step, I will institute a comprehensive computerization process across all ministries, ensuring that they are equipped with cutting-edge technology to optimize their functions.
In addition to the implementation of IT systems, my administration will prioritize staff empowerment through extensive training programs. It is imperative that every member of the workforce is proficient in utilizing information technology tools effectively. By providing training opportunities, we aim to enhance the digital literacy of our workforce, fostering a skilled and adaptable cadre of professionals capable of leveraging technology for efficient governance.
Furthermore, our commitment extends beyond the internal workings of government offices. We will champion initiatives to bridge the digital divide within communities, promoting widespread access to technology and digital skills. This inclusive approach aims to empower citizens with the tools and knowledge needed to participate fully in the digital era, ensuring that the benefits of technological advancement reach every corner of Oyo State.
Join me in envisioning a digitally empowered Oyo State, where the seamless integration of technology at both the administrative and community levels propels us toward comprehensive and sustainable development. Through strategic investment in Information Technology and the cultivation of digital literacy, we can unlock the full potential of our state, positioning it as a beacon of progress in the modern world.
