Ezuka said that Enugu State shall become a national model like Yobe state by the time “we commission this facility which is our launch pad for the Eastern part of Nigeria”.
He said that the Zinox Wireless cloud is the only way to promote cost effective knowledge democracy in a state, as there will be equal access for the poor and the rich to the global knowledge domain.
