Nigeria may be sinking but we will save it – Tinubu’s Minister, Nnaji
Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology, Chief Uche Nnaji, has reassured Nigerians of the Federal Government’s dedicated efforts to address the myriad challenges facing Nigeria.
His remarks came during the official launch of ‘TechAdvantage Nigeria,’ a platform designed to bolster the country’s tech sector for enhanced job creation and economic growth.
Chief Nnaji emphasized the significance of leveraging technology and innovation to propel Nigeria towards prosperity during his address at the ceremony held at the National Office of Technology Acquisition and Promotion (NOTAP) in Abuja.
He underscored that the project aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, highlighting its potential to unlock limitless opportunities and drive the nation’s advancement through technology.
“Our dear president Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda points a clear vision: a nation where innovation fuels economic growth, empowers individuals, and brings about a brighter future for all.
“TechAdvantage Nigeria is aligned with this vision and is more than just an online platform. It is an ecosystem where apprentices connect with business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs learn from seasoned experts, individuals can train and empower themselves through the academy, customers can contact and hire skilled individuals through the jobs platform, traders and startups can expand their reach through the online marketplace, and tech enthusiasts can come together to share knowledge, collaborate, and build a more robust tech ecosystem.
“The computer village model, long recognized as a hub of ingenuity and
entrepreneurship, inspires this project. We have translated the best of this model – the spirit of collaboration, the drive to succeed, and the constant adaptation to
technology into an online ecosystem accessible to all,” the minister stated.
