He emphasised the role played by technology in the development of countries like USA, UK, China, Japan, and South Korea as well as the strides a Nation like India is making with technology.
Olatujoye further stated that the Foundation is passionate about empowering the Youths for national development and partnering with The Incubator Nigeria to execute the biggest tech skills training project in Africa is a milestone in the Foundation’s journey.
“We are excited about the partnership with Incubator Nigeria because of their track records and commitment to Youth empowerment through digital skills training in Africa,” he said.
