There are three levels of concern. Let me start with the most important: even at the risk of being parochial, this is the local level, that is at the Senatorial District level. My cardinal points centre on (a) information dissemination; (b) people inclusion and participation; (c) targeted interventions and (d) grassroots empowerment. For once, we need to bring the full benefits of representation at the centre to the local level. The second level of concern is the state level. Here, I am concerned about complementing the activities of the state Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, towards the transformation of the entire state and to ensure that my Senatorial District is not left behind in this process and to ensure that my District takes the lead ahead of the other two districts. The third level is the national. I intend to team up with like minds in the Senate to take maximum advantage of my experience in strategies and implementation of the Nigerian e-Government programme over the last six years by taking the case for e-Government compliance at all tiers to the highest level of legislation in Nigeria. The thrust of this grand move is to facilitate legislative framework for e-Government to drive national competitiveness, which is needed to ensure productivity, growth and sustainable economic growth. It is a move aimed at getting legislative backing to mainstream ICT tools and techniques in all facets of public service at all levels and to ensure digital penetration specially designed to reach all constituencies, including rural communities.
