Speaking during the ground breaking ceremony of an ICT lab at Phokera CDSS in Nsanje, Director of IT at Macra, Steven Pelete said the facilities will introduce students to the digital tools, digital skills and expand their digital experience.
Meanwhile, Nsanje Lalanje lawmaker Gladys Ganda commended Macra for the support.
