IT lab opens

LAHORE
The United States Agency for International Development Mission Director for Pakistan Gregory Gottlieb and CEO of the Lahore Electric Supply Company (Lesco) Qaisar Zaman inaugurated an Information Technology (IT) lab established at the Lesco Regional Training Centre with USAID’s support.
It was told to the audience during the function, which was also attended by US Consul General in Lahore Zachary Harkenrider and Acting Provincial Director USAID Punjab Maggie Schoch, the IT lab would enable Lesco employees to enhance their computer skills required in their day-to-day work, as well as support the use of various technologies that the United States has helped to introduce at Lesco to improve the supply of electricity to consumers.
“I am hopeful that the information technology lab we are inaugurating will further strengthen Lesco’s ability to deal with and manage the energy available to it in order to provide the Lahore area with the energy it needs to grow and thrive,” stated Mission Director Gottlieb at the ceremony. The US delegation observed the linemen training at the centre.
“I believe that with the commitment and dedication of key stakeholders, Pakistan’s power shortages will one day be a thing of the past. It is through improvements such as the one we are celebrating today, that the problems will be resolved,” said US Consul General Zachary Harkenrider.
“This centre will serve as a base from which to introduce new technologies that will improve the operations of Lesco and the delivery of power to consumers,” he added.
