The project is seen as a major step toward equipping the youth with relevant skills needed in today’s technology-driven world.
According to officials, the ICT Centre will serve as a hub for learning, research, and digital training, allowing students and residents to improve their knowledge in areas such as computer literacy, software skills, and online communication.
The commissioning of the centre highlights growing efforts to expand access to technology and support digital transformation across different parts of the country.
The facility is also expected to support educational institutions in the area by providing resources that enhance teaching and learning. Many community members believe the centre will open up new opportunities for students and young entrepreneurs.
