MWETANA sponsors ICT Association of Liberia (ICTAL) Launching Program

-

Barely six months after the fiber optic cable was launched in Liberia, there has been an increase in the demand for Information Communication Technology (ICT) professionals in Liberia. Giving the needs and demands of the profession in the society, standardization and best practices continues to remain a serious challenge faced by this current generation of ICT professionals in Liberia.

MWETANA Consulting & Technology Group, an ICT company in Liberia, as part of its corporate and social responsibilities has been working closely with the executive committee of the Information Communication Technology Association of Liberia during its formation stage by providing financial support to the regular Sunday’s formation meeting refreshment for up to 20 persons for the period of 5 months.

With the numerous benefits the association poses in the accomplishment of the Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) and the vision 2030, MWETANA Consulting & Technology Group is happy and also pleased to be a founding corporate member of the association. MWETANA is also proud to be one of the prime sponsors of the official launching program of the Information Communication Technology Association of Liberia (ICTAL) which brought together key stakeholders, IT professionals, and media institutions amongst others.  The company was fully represented during the launching ceremony which took place at the Cape Hotel by the President/Solutions Architect, Mr. Vivien C. Jones who spoke during the launching ceremony. He challenged the association to remain firm and strong in its decision making and reminded them to focus in accomplishing its mission and vision as stated on ICTAL’s website.  He also used the occasion to plead with the Government and donor organizations to stop importing expertise from outside, but rather, requested that the opportunity be given to Liberians. This he said, will aid in the building of much needed capacity and allow Liberian ICT organizations and professionals to demonstrate their capabilities.

The occasion was graced by the Minister of Post & Telecommunication, Dr. Frederick B. Norkeh, who served as the Chief launcher along with Mr. Adbullai Kamara, Commissioner of the Liberia Telecommunication Authority who served as the guest speaker.

I am not too sure if you have encountered this problem when connecting the AnyConnect VPN client software. ( Anyconnect was not able to establish a connection to the specified secure gateway. please try connecting again ) I have been working with a colleague of mind in Dakar to connect my computer to the Dakar system via the VPN connections. When we first installed the software (Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client), I was able to connect and access resources on the Dakar network. What that means – the connection was successful after the installation. After couples of hours, after restarting my computer several times, I decided to connect to the Dakar office that I once connected to before. Unfortunately, I was presented with the error message above.   As usual, I decided to google the error message and surely, I found thousands of suggestions that I tried some but my problem was still not resolved. Therefore, I decided to troubleshoot using my experience and expertis

Weah that all schools should remain closed and that schools should seek innovative ways to still engage their students has given the increase need for online classes. Most schools are in the state of confusion since the implement of online learning is somehow new to Liberia. Online learning is for everyone including K12 to higher education.

These students already have their stud
