According to to Ministry of Information, Communication Technology and Postal Services, the roadmap awareness programme will focus on the states and the three administrative areas.
Lado Kenyi, Undersecretary Ministry of ICT and Postal Services, confirmed that the awareness project will begin this year to ensure that citizens at the grassroots understand the initiative.
