Ekeh, who stressedthat the miracle to turn around the country’s economic lies within the ICT sector,  said,:“The country is about 75 per cent analogue. Tell me the commercial sector that does not need ICT? Most importantly, government must have a rethink.”

He stated that unemployment in the country “is a time-bomb waiting to explode, while tertiary institutions are releasing graduates in hundreds of thousands.”
