company.
Though the company has its headquarters in Nigeria, the
Board Chairman of the company and also a Former
Communications Minister, Benjamin Aggrey Ntim says the plans
to export assembled computers from Ghana to other African
countries shows Ghana’s preparedness to lead in the
development of ICT in Africa.
Mr. Aggrey Ntim, told Citi Business at the sidelines of the
tour by representatives from Malaysian Open University to
the factory of Omatek computers disclosed that Omatek
already has the ability to produce up to 300 desktop,
notebooks and laptop computers daily.
Meanwhile, the President of the Accra Institute of
Technology, Prof. Clement Dzidonu also believes Ghana has
made significant strides in ICT development.
He implored ICT related companies to focus on capacity
building for maximum impact to ensure that ICT is sent into
homes, schools and universities.
