Muscat: The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology on Wednesday held a meeting with governors to discuss a range of topics, namely the government’s digital transformation programme and activating the governorates’ digital transformation configurations.
The meeting came within the framework of achieving the goals of the National Programme for Digital Economy and the executive plan for the government’s Digital Transformation Programme (2021-2025) approved by the Council of Ministers.
Eng. Said Hamoud Al Ma’wali, Minister of Transport, Communications and Information Technology said that 26% of the digital transformation plan (to be completed by 2025) has been achieved, including 80% of all-important services for the end-beneficiary.
