ICT

People all over the world are reaching out to share information through new and developing channels. The Information Communication Technology Directorate (ICTD) focuses on the intersection of technology, people who use that technology, policies and regulations that govern the use of that technology and communities or environments in which that technology is used. Believing its importance AdU established ICT Directorate as the most important office for enhancing teaching and learning, community service as well as research & development activities.
