Goodwill Messages:
Thanking you all.
It is my 10th -year Anniversary as United Nations World Summit Awards National Expert for Nigeria and Country Coordinator for SPACE4ICTNigeria – an SDG-Advisor (Decision Support Service consultation for Developing Countries and Small Islands) Initiative volunteerism with UN ICT4SIDS and UN WORLD SUMMIT AWARDS. In what became an interesting journey for 10 ten years we have had to float Innovationbed Africa as a vehicle to administer my work role in a manner that metamorphose into an unfolding digital ecosystem. With the big network of friends across Africa and beyond, our tech-scouting research works, promotional awareness and provision of sound mentor-ship resource for youths, hopes to engender qualitative and increased innovation submissions into the global awards competition of the WSA.

AFTER WORKSHOPS ONLINE AFTER-PARTY WITH GLOBAL NETWORK OF WSA NATIONAL EXPERTS RESUMES: <Click to play our party theme song>
– Our Foundation’s Student Innovation Support Research (SISR) showed that, Students who in addition to examination and periodic assessment preparation are able to convert the efforts of writing/copying/photocopying daily lecture notes into innovative service/product ideas while still in school, are more likely to succeed post-graduation difficulties, become better citizens – those that will constructively build a nation than destroy it!
– We saw a need to help these students by conscripting global experts from around the world and local, sharing with them mentor-ship on innovation of high-impact to society so our undergraduates can irrespective of course of study find a purpose for their discipline, and nurture them early before graduation.
– Lay a strong foundation for Nigeria to solidify its innovations capacity development goal among youths in coming years.
