The CPN is a legal entity established by Decree No. 49 of 1993, and charged with the responsibility of control and supervision of the Computing Profession in the country, in partnership with the Nigeria Computer Society (NCS).
Governor Fubara gave the directive while speaking at a dinner organized for delegates of the 2024 International Conference of the Nigeria Computer Society in Government House, Port Harcourt on Thursday night.
The Governor said that as part of efforts to eliminate quackery in the sector, and promote accelerated deployment and application of technology in the workplace, his administration was taking measures to fast-track ICT-literacy to boost effective and efficient service delivery in the State.
Governor Fubara said he has promised the President of the Society that civil servants that belong to his profession must be certified before they get further promotions.
“What are we trying to do? It is to make sure that we push away quacks. We make sure that this society is noble. That is what you get when you are dealing with a civil servant.
“I am a civil servant before becoming a politician. I did not just jump into politics, so I have records, I am coming from somewhere, I understand procedures.
“We will give you all the support to ensure that this association or society will be recognised in this State. I can assure you that.”
