God wanted me to play a role and I have done it beautifully to the best of my abilities that God has given me. And I just look forward to reflecting on the past and thank God as I hopefully age peacefully. I don’t believe in working till I drop dead. I believe there is time for everything, time for working, serious work. With retirement now, I want to relax and reflect and thank God, hoping I will be able to live many more years in life.When we started, IT wasn’t in existence in Nigeria.
In developed countries, usually, the public sector is large. They allow the private sector to do a lot of things. But here , people expect the public sector to do a lot of things for them but if the public sector is unable to harness ICT effectively and efficiently due to a lack of human resources, it means the whole economy will suffer and that is a serious problem. Take the Independent National Electoral Commission as an example. The best ICT people will not work for INEC.
Here we can easily do it without creating joblessness, unemployment, crime, drug usage, and poverty. Poverty can cause anything. A gentleman becomes a rogue when poverty comes. This is the issue that is facing the world and unfortunately, this ICT we are talking about is owned by corporations. They are the ones developing this technology. Those are the companies developing these technologies. It is like they are creating robots to replace human beings.
