The fourth meeting of the National Information Technology Board (NITB) was recently held at the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecom.

The minister instructed the NITB to market ‘Made in Pakistan’ products at both national and international levels to make it a globally unique brand. Furthermore, the chairman and board members welcomed the recently elected CEO of NITB, Babar Majid Bhatti. The board also provided information on the steps taken by the CEO, who took charge on April 10.
During the meeting, the minister urged the CEO not to compromise on merit in any case. In addition, he showed hope that the CEO would help NITB achieve its goals with his skills and expertise.
