Here is to invite you specially to our innovation event for the youths.
Nigeria’s World Summit Awards Winner Hamzat Lawal producer for “FollowTheMoney” under the Open-Government and Citizens Engagement and the producer “LendanArm” will give a keynote address to the student participants nationwide… joining in to the pre-congress workshop on the 21st March, 2022.
Sessions will be very relaxed as we share with innovative minds and curious student participants from tertiary institutions across the country, seeking to take their course contents more seriously and innovate same for productive service usages beyond traditional examinations aiming at building job-creation potentials rather than job-seeking soon as they graduate from school. #innovationbed

Event is to also raise awareness for the global WSA Winners’ Congress among youths in Nigeria.

Nigerians are at the core of innovation whose ideas and inspirations will guide the future success of our economy. Countries around the world are making large investments to unlock the benefits of technological transformation for their economies and peoples. In order for Nigerians to reap the same benefits, we require a new approach that builds on our strong fundamentals, such as youthful population, environment of provocative poverty making the hungry to seek solutions at all cost.
Dr Tunde Oyebamiji
Hamzat LawalOnly Innovators can rebuild a nation sustainably … #Innovationbed Africa
Innovation is the key to competitiveness, productivity, economic growth, creating good jobs, and overall making life better for all Nigerians. To become one of the most innovative countries in the world, Nigeria must build a culture of innovation, where Nigerians can embrace change and have the right skill sets and tools to leverage emerging opportunities to compete in the global economy.
