The Executive Vice Chairman (EVC) of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta, has emphasised the important role played by women in the country’s socio-economic and political space.
He also underscored the need to empower women with Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as an enabler for social change.
Danbatta stated this while delivering a goodwill message at a recent webinar organised by Zinari Communications Limited with the theme: “Mainstreaming Rural Women Enterprise Development into Digital Economy Initiative: The Opportunities, Strategies and Constraints.”
According to Danbatta, who was represented by the Head, Online Media and Special Publication at NCC, Grace Ojougboh, “there is no doubt that women have been historically central to socio-economic and political development of any nation.”
