Morning Section of Kent Computer Students testing their knowledge in
Microsoft Word tools. Both young and adult have decided to make use of this
wonderful opportunity offered by Christian Faith Ministries to step up in ICT
skills or knowledge.
Acquiring skills most especially in ICT is costly as many platforms that are
willing to give out this knowledge charge huge amount of money. You cannot
blame them because the money spent on procurement of ICT facilities here in
Nigeria is relatively high. And if one considers maintenance, source of
electricity and other services that are required to run such platforms, anyone may likely think or act otherwise.
This is also why must private or even public primary or secondary schools don't have ICT facilities to furnished their pupils or students with the basic
knowledge because of the cost and maintenance of ICT facilities. Almost 55% of secondary school graduates most especially in rural areas don't know how to
operate a computer. But in this 21st century, this knowledge is vital and
therefore, Christian Faith ministries is trying to close the gap. Even though it
is capital intensive, it is making a tremendous impart in the life of these youths.
Statistics show that ICT or technology contributes at least 15% to the
growth of a nation's GDP, and at least 27% of developing nations like Nigeria
earn their living in that field. This means equipping youths and adults as well
with this skills or knowledge is significant to national development. This
reduces anxiety rate that result into insurrection as these youth are engage
with skills that can make them survive economic turbulence.
