The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr. Dele Alake, has given his ministry’s staff and directors a one-week ultimatum to embrace technology or risk being left behind.
The Minister while delivering his keynote address on Friday at the Ministerial Retreat in Abuja made this declaration while discussing the challenges facing the ministry and the need for digitisation.
Acording to Alake, the ministry has been facing administrative challenges due to the lack of tech savviness among some staff members.
He noted that he has been receiving memos and signing files, but with the new system, things have changed.
“I’ve not been receiving memos,” he said. “And I noticed that I’ve not been signing files like I used to. That means I’m not improving, and implications are that we are losing.”
Alake warned that any staff member or director who fails to adapt to the new system and technology within one week will be expected to “look elsewhere.”
