According to him, it is very necessary to let the students know the power of technology. “We want to introduce technology to students, so that they can start early to incorporate this new trend into their learning, even if the school does not teach this trend, students can get the relevant information through the platform we create for them.”
Justifying the need for the event, the organisers, Principal Facilitator, Invent Youth Leadership Initiative, Mr. Elijah Olupona, said it was targeted at preparing the youths on how to become solution providers for the future.
Tutor General, Mrs. Oludara Oyebisi Okelola, represented by Assistant Director of Education, Education District VI, Mrs. Shonibare Roseline Omolara said the summit was an eye-opener for their students.
