Okanguati: Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Emma Theofelus, on Wednesday visited the Okanguati Rural ICT Centre site under development in the Kunene Region as part of the government's efforts to expand digital access and infrastructure development in rural communities. According to Namibia Press Agency, the visit was preceded by courtesy calls to Kunene Region Governor Vipuakuje Muharukua and Epupa Constituency Councillor Tjimutambo Kuuoko. During these meetings, the minister briefed regional leadership on the ministry's priorities for improving connectivity and strengthening ICT services in remote areas. During the site visit, Theofelus and her delegation toured the proposed ICT centre and conducted an on-site assessment to identify outstanding requirements needed to ensure the facility becomes fully operational. The centre is expected to open later this year and is intended to enhance access to digital services, online learning opportunities, and government e-services for residents of Okanguati and surrounding communities. Theofelus emphasized the government's commitment by stating, "We are committed to ensuring that rural communities are not left behind in the digital transformation of our country. Facilities like this ICT centre are critical for education, communication, and economic participation." The delegation also visited the proposed multi-sports centre site under the Office of the Kunene Governor, which is planned for development in Okanguati. The working visit forms part of a broader programme by the ICT ministry to strengthen digital inclusion and improve service delivery across Namibia's rural and underserved regions.
