Speaking at the event to kick-off the training tagged ‘A Town hall Meeting and Computer Appreciation Workshop’ organised by JPF, founder of the foundation, Hon Juliet Pulu-Zifawei said girls should be proactive and find interest to use the digital space to their advantage.
Hon Pulu-Zifawei hinted the girls that the opportunities in the digital space are enormous, adding that there is so much they can achieve if they use their smartphone wisely rather than posting pictures and chatting on social media.
She admonished them to take their lives seriously and be abreast with technological advancement in the digital space.
