Dr. Isa Ali Pantami, director general, National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), has admitted there are many challenges facing the Agency and the country at large. Pantami, who took to social media to appreciate Nigerians on the numerous congratulatory messages sent to him on the recent appointment to head the Agency, also solicited prayers for a successful tenure.
The DG writes, “I write to thank all my fellow Nigerians for their goodwill messages, suggestions and prayers over my recent trial of serving Nigeria as the DG of NITDA. The responsibility is a huge one, which needs more advice, than congratulatory messages. This is indeed a trial, that we hope and pray to be successful. I received many messages through email, whatsApp, twitter and Facebook. I had tried to reply all individual, but became practically impossible. I do hope that this will be accepted as a reply to those that I couldn't reply them privately.
Dr. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami was appointed substantive DG of NITDA following the announcement by the Federal Government on Monday the 26th of September 2016.
In a brief reception held in his honour, Dr. Isa Ali expressed his gratitude towards the reception he received from the outgoing acting DG, the indefatigable Vincent Olatunji, PhD, and other members of staff. Dr. Pantami promised to consolidate on the achievements the Agency has recorded over the years, adding that what is important to him is to see how Nigeria can explore the potentials of ICT for National development.
He said, “What is important to us is Nigeria and I am here to work together with you as a team to achieve the vision of the Agency”.
We believe that the NITDA DG will commence action by receiving reports and proposals from professionals on what needs to be done within the next three (3) years.
