The "Clean-up Abuja Campaign 2002"
held in November was a huge success with over 3500
participants from various secondary schools in Abuja.
The global issues initiatives developed during this
campaign exercise represents a renewed approach to
global issues in relation specifically to Information
Technology and the emerging global system that undergrids
it.
Comprehensive approaches and clean-up exercises were
actually carried out. Clean-up Abuja 2002 was just
the beginning. The real work was to come afterwards.
People immediately begin to take measures at that
time to ensure that there would be rules after the
"Clean-up Abuja 2002" on environment and
development to take care of the follow-up process.
It was planned that after the campaign, progress would
be made.
During the event research and information gathering
was carried out in the area of health care as well
as environmental studies related to ecological improvement
and measures preventing the spread of epidemic diseases.
During the event projects at various sites and locations
were carried out in coordinated manners with each
other. This was done to show the practical value that
Information Communication Technology can to address
urgent issues in Nigeria.
