Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has urged Nigerian youths to tap into the vast opportunities in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to become self-reliant and remain relevant in the future.
The governor made the appeal on Thursday during the launch of ‘Window on America’, an ICT initiative by the American Consulate in partnership with GFA Technologies, held at the Ogun State Tech Hub on Kobape Road, Abeokuta.
He noted that the establishment of the American Window at the Ogun State Tech Hub is the result of a visionary public-private partnership between the Ogun State Government, through the Bureau of Information Technology, the innovative GFA Technologies Group, and the US Mission.
The governor described the initiative as a vibrant and inclusive platform designed to connect the ambitions of young people with the global opportunities that lie ahead of them.
This insight has driven us to invest significantly in our digital infrastructure — from expanding fibre optic connectivity to promoting digital literacy and establishing innovation clusters throughout the state.
This initiative is more than just a physical space; it serves as a platform for knowledge sharing, skill development, and peer-to-peer collaboration between our youth and their counterparts, not only in the United States but across the globe.
