Speaker of the ECOWAS Parliament, Mr Sidi Tunis has said development in Africa, particularly in West Africa may be stagnation without countries in the sub-region embracing Information Communications Technology (ICT).
He stated this while speaking at the opening of the ECOWAS Parliamentâs De-localized meeting on Telecommunications as Development Factor in West Africa, holding in Winneba, Ghana.
While lamenting that West Africa and the entire Africa continent is lagging behind in ICT, he said it may be a tough ask to look forward to African countries making reasonable advancement in technology and development without making headway first in ICT.
