Place ICT hubs at play grounds to encourage healthy lifestyles

Dear Editor
THE Government through the Ministry of Public Telecommunications must be graciously applauded for providing free internet access across the country.

The initiative undertaken by the Honorable Minister Cathy Hughes is quite impressive and will derive considerable benefits to the consuming public, including young people and students. While this is so, most of the hubs however are being placed either in government buildings or places that are not always accessible.

Notwithstanding, however, I am suggesting that consideration should be given to injecting ICT at play grounds. This I believe will attract persons to becoming health conscious, since they will visit such facilities on a regular basis to access the internet and perhaps be encouraged to exercise.

Maintaining healthy life styles must become a priority for the Administration and therefore I am appealing to the Ministry of Public Health, Youth and Sport as well as Public Telecommunications, to create an environment that will promote the drive towards the sustainability and longevity of the population. I believe therefore that this can be achieved by having ICT hubs at playing grounds.

Regards
Elroy Stephney
