Abstract

Various measures and strategies have been adopted by different governments in order to harness the natural resources to the betterment of her citizenry. But President Jonathan's economy policy is quite different in that there is a generational shift from oil to knowledge-based economy and this requires the application of the new knowledge to drive other soft sectors; governance, entertainments, public service, media sector etc. This involves the development of a vibrant ICT sector to drive and expand the national production frontier in agriculture, manufacturing and service sectors. Secretaries work for businesses representing virtually every industry and economic sector, they are critical in the economy of the country, therefore, this paper looked into the increasing role of secretaries in nation building and the transformation agenda. The paper focuses on the workplace skills and technological integrations in nation building and ICT and secretarial entrepreneurship in nation building. The paper recommends that government should deploy and ensure full utilization of ICT infrastructure on all fronts.
