Talking to media, Chief Business Officer World Mobile, Charles Barnett stated, “We are delighted to establish this project with Wordcall to deliver a Centre of Excellence for blockchain technology with UCP and AMF. Our mission is to connect the unconnected and we are utilising blockchain technology to do this. Trust, digital ID, self-data governance are all made possible with blockchain and it should be a global interest to nurture and develop talent in this field.”

Nassar Ikram, UCP’s Pro-Rector, stated that the university has been working hard to integrate current technology into its academic and professional education programmes. He went on to say that the World Telecom Limited and World Mobile Group cooperation will guarantee that the full potential of blockchain as a technology platform was unlocked to address requirements in both the technical and social spheres.
