What Does This Mean?
At a time the globe is advancing technologically, one might want to criticize the Nigerian government for not making adequate efforts towards seeing that projects like ITF Mobile were launched earlier, but it is better late than never. It would be a huge gain for Nigeria if the government works on this product and hopefully, in not so distant time, cell phones are produced in Nigeria to boost the communication industry and lead to other advancements in the Nigerian tech space. Instructively, It is time to pay more attention to the tech industry and utilize Nigerian brains for the growth and development of the most populous black nation on earth.
