A year ago today I was fighting for my life in ICU, with blood clots in both my lungs, I was barely out of the hospital when my daughter arrived, pre term and then I got laid off and felt my world had crumbled. But even at that lowest moment, my wife, my family, colleagues and even strangers willed me on, breathed me to life.

#DigitalTransformation high on the agenda as experts gather at the #AU HQs to discuss the future of #ICT & Communication in Africa. Their report will guide #Ministerial deliberations on 23NOV on strategies to optimize opportunities & mitigate risks in a fast changing digital envt
