The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and its Partners International Telecom Union have sponsored two Liberian students to participate in a four- day ITU Telecommunication Africa Youth Forum in Cairo, Egypt.

The Africa Telecom 2008 Youth Forum began yesterday and will end on May 15 with students Emerson Makien of the University of Liberia and Sadia Williams of Stella Marie Polytechnic representing Liberia through the hospitality of the Posts and Telecommunications Ministry.

According to the communication, the four-day ITU Telecom Africa Youth Forum will focus on the participation of young people in the use of information communication technology (ICTS) for socio-economic development and how ICTs can contribute to peace and stability within the African continent.

A Postal Affairs release said the selection of the two students came as a result of a thorough screening process carried on by the Africa Telecom Youth Forum selection procedures.
