ICT centres to lift African poverty (LIMKOKWING)

Limkokwing Institute for Tomorrow (LIFT) is investing RM50 million to set up ICT training centres across Africa over the next 10 years.
Funded by the Limkokwing Foundation for Creative Excellence, LIFT will work with local communities and political leaders to manage the centres that would provide free training.
LIFT president Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing said it planned to train a million Africans.
He said there were also plans to build more Limkokwing University campuses in Africa following the successful setting up of the Malaysian-brand private university in Botswana.
Lim, who is the founder of Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, was a panelist at the Langkawi International Dialogue’s session on Poverty Eradication through Capacity Building.
