According to Nwankwo” the centre was conceived and initiated by me as a result of the challenges my constituents are facing in skill development and accessing web information”
“In this age that the world has become a global village every effort must be made to provide ICT facilities for our people and I took up this construction and equipping as my widow’s mite in skill development, acquisition and ICT in my constituency”
“The ICT HUB is fully equipped with modern ICT experiences and training for skill development/acquisition.
“The capacity is for 250 computers but currently it is equipped with 150 fully installed and functional systems ”

*I urge politicians, businessmen and women as well as captains of the private sector to invest more in vocational training and education of our younger generation and those yet inborn in order to secure the future of our children”
“We are all aware of the challenges our economy is facing as well as other countries and most counties have become proactive by investing more in vocational education and skill development to fight crime and unemployment,” he said.
