RURA Director-General, Lt Col Patrick Nyirishema said that there are different variations brought by ICT be in transportation, communication and medication among others. He said that the meeting aimed at deliberating on way forward so that Rwanda will not draw back or lag behind in the revolution.
“These are things that are happening today, we wish to adopt these variations so that in one, five or ten years ahead, we shall not find ourselves lagging behind, but, be on same track as these changes are taking place,” he said.
He said that it will be possible when government and private institutions in ICT sector partner and play their respective roles.
