Information and Communication Technology, ICT, expert, Zimbabwean-born Nyasha Mutsekwa, is in Cameroon to implant and develop Oracle software.
Nyasha, the e-School Business Development Manager for Oracle Africa, visited Cameroon at the behest of Oracle Corporation, South Africa, and talked with officials in the private and public sectors on some of the advantages Oracle offers in the ICT world.
"Oracle has committed itself to developing ICT education. That is part of the way we develop and keep the 5-7 percent GDP growth we've been experiencing," he told this reporter during his sojourn in Buea.
Nyasha said he is here to appreciate what is happening in education in Cameroon and to see how to develop ICT skills in the elementary and secondary schools right up to the universities with ADCOME, its Cameroon partner.
According to him, Oracle is a business and enterprising software company, which develops applications for businesses to run their financial and human resource management. "Originally, we started off as a data base company, having about 90% of the market globally.
Today, we've about 250 products to offer, including education initiatives, human
resource management, information systems, teacher management content and procurement."
Nyasha explained that Oracle has three offices in South Africa; Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg, one in Nigeria and another in Kenya. We want ADCOME to include in their training sessions Oracle technology so that the man in the street can come in and certify in any of our programmes and subsequently make him/her self marketable across the world."

While in Cameroon, Nyasha visited the Ministry of Secondary, University of Buea, Catholic Education Secretariat, Buea, Presbyterian Education Secretariat, Buea and Baptist Education Secretariat, Limbe.
