Willie Bassey, the Director of Information in the Office of the SGF in a statement on Friday in Abuja, said that the SGF stated this during a visit to the Galaxy Backbone.
Mustapha said the federal government had committed huge investments in the development of Information and Communication Technology sector of the economy.
He said efficiency and effectiveness in the sector would help deliver on government’s e-governance programme.
