Unless information technology, education, employment creation were given urgent attention in governance, the fight against terrorism and other acts of insecurity may be long-drawn, the President of Nigerian Computer Society, NCS, Sir. Demola Aladekomo has warned.
.
The NCS President disclosed this last week in Lagos during a press conference to announce the 2013 edition of NCS International Conference slated to hold in Osun State next July. Aladekomo noted that e-government and national security as the theme of this year's conference was borne out of the need to highlight the relevance of IT to governance and national security to ensure real, all-inclusive development and transformation of governance through IT, while overcoming the menace of insecurity bedevilling the nation.
.
According to him, if terrorists who are basically the youths were gainfully engaged through IT, the situation can be better managed.
