According to the Director General of RMRDC, “The first step is to educate our people on how to use the equipment before thinking of the supporting technology so that they can make a choice of the technology they feel it’s better for them in other to make sure that the equipment that will be procured will be used effectively”

Speaking further, the DG said that the council will also partner with the Xerox company in the area of Research and Development because the Council has just perfected some research on paper making and would like to go into partnerships in paper making, conducting more research on toner production and how to use our local resources for the production process which will, in turn, discourage importing what we already have from another country.
Earlier, the Deputy General Manager of Xerox company, Mr. Tijani Okolo said that Xerox has been in partnership with RMRDC for some years and they would like to continue with it and move it to the next level because they have improved their technology and have added some features to their equipment for effective office use.
