The Anambra State ICT Agency has commenced digital literacy training for Ministry of Agriculture staff to strengthen the use of official government email, @anambrastate.gov.ng, for official assignments.

The two-day training, organized in collaboration with the Ministry, commenced, September 23, at the Ministry of Agriculture Complex, off Kwata Flyover, Awka, with 40 headquarters staff participating.

The initiative is aimed at familiarizing staff with their official email accounts and equipping them to use the accounts for day-to-day government communication.

The Director of Administration, Ministry of Agriculture, Ifeyinwa Onyenwe, said the training was organized at the instance of the Commissioner for Agriculture, Dr. Ben.Chuks. Odoemena.

“The Commissioner wanted to ensure that the Ministry’s official email was used for official assignments,” Onyenwe said, adding that participating headquarters staff successfully accessed their official email addresses.

She expressed confidence that the accounts would be adequately utilized in the Ministry’s day-to-day operations and appreciated the ICT Agency for ensuring that the power outage did not disrupt the training.

Participants were guided through accessing and setting up their official accounts, alongside practical lessons on email etiquette and the appropriate use of official government email.

The training continues Thursday, September 24, for the Ministry’s LGA staff, as ICT Agency and the Ministry advance efforts to strengthen digital capacity and promote official digital communication across government.
