My Vision and hope is to make the future generation equipped with the knowledge and skills that are necessary for them to be at level with their counterparts in the most advanced countries of the world. We must make it a priority to develop standards In ICT which specifies minimum requirements that should be adhered to by governments organizations and businesses to ensure consistency in practices, projects, procurements and outsourcing for security and development. “MANPOWER EMPOWERMENT STRATEGY FOR JOB CREATION”….
We should enter the world of science and technology aggressively, and at the same time preserve our cherished cultural heritage and values which is what we seek to promote and sustain. We are in an era in which the world is equipped with a deep knowledge and enthusiasm about ICT technology. We should think more of the future and our children and reminding ourselves of where would we be in ten years’ time? We should create for the future generation an enabling environment where technology could be used for good governance, transformation of the society, thereby creating hope where there seem to be no hope, upholding a high standard of moral and ethical social life. This is the only way we can give back to the youths and many others an opportunity through ICT the life they were denied…SJS

GOOD AND EVIL-HE OR SHE THAT HAVE NOT SINNED OR HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS, LET THEM CAST THE FIRST STONE!
Why is it easier to think of evil examples than good ones? Is it much easier to do something big and bad than it is to do something big and good?
Due to the complexity of our human personalities the fact remains that goodness and evilness depend on the perspective of the time. No one, I repeat, NO ONE, is born either purely good or purely evil. As humans, we are all born with the potential to perform acts of both great goodness or great evil. At birth, we are all “blank slates,” and our lives and experiences end up drawing on this slate, molding us into the people we will ultimately become. People who have warm, loving parents who teach them openness and love will naturally become more open, loving people than people who are brought up to hate. My point is, it is futile to try to put a label of good or evil on any individual, as everyone is capable of acts of both good and evil, and nearly everyone tries to do the right thing based on their own both local and worldview, which is different from person to person.
Instead, we should judge the ACTS that people commit as good or evil, since those are somewhat easier to put a label on when it is based on a situation evolving lacking the respect for the rule of law. Judge the action, not the person.
