The Anambra State ICT Agency has conducted a training session for the Commissioner, Permanent Secretary, and Information Management team of the Ministry of Information and Value Reformation on the adoption and effective use of the SolutionLens platform.
The training focused on integrating the SolutionLens platform into the Ministry’s digital domain and equipping participants with the knowledge required to effectively manage and utilize the platform.
Speaking during the session, the resource person, Miss Onyinye Mike Okoye, explained that SolutionLens is a digital platform designed to promote transparency, accountability, and open governance in Anambra State. She noted that the platform enables citizens to access information on government activities and projects, ask questions, and receive timely feedback from relevant government agencies.
Welcoming the ICT Agency team to his office, the Commissioner for Information and Value Reformation, Dr. Law Mefor, expressed appreciation for the initiative. He explained that the Ministry already operates an editorial process in which news reports submitted by Information Officers are reviewed and edited before publication on the Ministry’s website to ensure accuracy, readability, and accessibility.
Dr. Mefor emphasized the need for effective collaboration between the Ministry and the ICT Agency to enhance information dissemination and strengthen direct engagement between the government and the people, ensuring that citizens remain well-informed about developments across the state.
In her remarks, the Permanent Secretary, Pharm. Dr. Obiageli Uchebo, commended the ICT Agency for the training. She stressed the importance of harmonizing digital communication efforts to achieve greater efficiency as well as widespread public sensitization to ensure that citizens, especially young people and students, become aware of and actively engage with the platform.
She further noted that training the Ministry’s editorial team would strengthen their digital capacity and improve content management on the platform.
The training featured practical sessions on digital compliance and the effective use of the SolutionLens platform.
