UGANDA will contest for a council seat on the International Telecommunication Union to represent Africa.
State Minister for ICT Nyombi Tembo disclosed this on Monday while opening a major ITU conference at Speke Resort Munyonyo.
“Our candidature is based on recorded performance, i request the support of your countries,” said Tembo.
There are 13 seats available for Africa.
