PRESIDENT Olusegun Obasanjo, yesterday in Abuja launched a public private partnership, dubbed "Computer for All Nigerians Initiative." (CANI) to make personal computers available to Nigerians at more affordable prices. The partnership sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology, Microsoft and Intel is also in furtherance of the broader aim of driving the benefits of Information Technology (IT) closer to Nigerians. CANI will mean that from today, PCs for home use will be available to people in paid employment in the public or private sector for instalments starting from less than N5000 per month. Payments can be structured over 24 months at reduced interest rates through employers and participating financial institutions, http://allafrica.com/stories/200607070354.html |

When is the government going to face its job and stop meddling with the private sector? What are they going to launch next? Sovereign Nigerian Forums Initiative? Webmaster Consolidation?  |

Which kin initiative, the Govt is always running in the wrong direction whats their business in providing computers for all Nigerians? after we buy this so called computers which power we go take use them when we never have light. I think the Govt should focus solely on providing infrastructure; Power supply,Roads and Water. The private Sector will take care of the rest.

Its a good thing if they can keep it up and not divert all the computers to government house. Intel has seen a good business ground so there are taking advantage of it but I tell u, this is for all civil servants only. Anyway by the time they finish paying for the computer; it will be so out dated. Smart move by Intel. Private guys can come in and do something similar but might say we will upgrade u every 2years. Thats for people who want to pay instalmentally. Nigerians are known to pay CASHHHHH for goods and services.

EVeryone knows that the government has no business selling computers for "all". Let them face the police, the prison system, the legal system. All they are doing is robbing computer sellers of their rightful profit.

A LITTLE over two weeks after the Federal Government launched the Computer for All Nigerians Initiative (CANi), cracks have begun to creep in. Reasons: Despite government's good intention to make their products available in homes and offices nation-wide, certain organisations have begun to show disdain for the project. One of the reasons for CANi, according to President Olusegun Obasanjo, who launched the initiative, is to encourage local entrepreneurship, create jobs by so doing and empower the people ultimately. But curiously, a government agency, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) allegedly put advertisements in the newspapers last week asking for such products as IBM, Toshiba and Dell. http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/compulife/article02/020806 |

Government should provide first the electricity that will power those computers. What kind of wrong people do we have in our government?

I guess the type that rushes to implement things without due consultations. |

Its actually more of a microsoft initiative,which your government just agreed to,because the same thing was launched here in Ghana about three months ago,and the computers have been on sale for some time now.

Seun and the "private sector vs government" debate sef I feel you on this one though  Anyways, I would say that OBJ would probably want to perfect selling 24-hour electricity first before embarking on this one. What good is a computer without nepa/generator? Abi it is powered off of solar energy? |

I wonder where he will be sourcing out this PC's from, in as much as i will like to believe this project has the interest of nigerians we all know that the fact remains its another way to channel out funds into a personal acct, he should concentrate on finishing projects that are yet to be completed and stop meddling around things he has no clue about how to implement

What does OBJ know about computers that he is launching for God's sake? The guy is only trying to make name b4 he leaves ASO rock. Let him try and settle the issue of nigerians owning their personal houses first and not personal computers. After all PC is a secondary if not a tertiary need to nigerians who are hungry. I beg make somebody advice that old man to comot him hand for wetin him no know about. Computer for all ko!! House for all ni!!.
