Our innovation called "The Abuja Eye" alias #iAbuja is representing Nigeria amonsgts other innovators from different African countries
and for iAbuja to win for Nigeria, iAbuja has to be well supported across social media platforms.

What is iAbuja?
iAbuja alias The Abuja Eye seeks to be a digital eye in Abuja's sky. A 6000sqm civic space/observation deck/information society/data bank, illuminated with approx. 6000sqm of a digital media mesh billboard, on the rooftop+4floors of Abuja's tallest commercial building, which is the new World Trade Center (WTC) Abuja.

My Naija people,
what to you guys think of the concept of “a digital eye in Abuja’s Sky”? like a big television you can see from almost all around Abuja and inside it, is a civic space/data bank we all can go to
1) enjoy views of Abuja from the top,
2) meet up with friends, eat, paint, party, read
3) experience virtual reality,
4) connect your phone download app, store/share/retrieve data.

Would it profoundly engage us all?

Do you guys think a name like “iAbuja or The Abuja Eye” makes sense for such an information society that wants to aid journalism, news media and ultimately Africa’s development pace.

WE THINK SO! The name iAbuja = a Unifier #Technology #Urbanculture

A tool that uses location, height, a giant billboard, the Internet, mobile applications, dashboard cameras and drones to drive data-driven journalism to improve the relevance and impact of news media.

Imagine situating #iAbuja or The Abuja Eye at the rooftop of the new World Trade Center Abuja.............Would that be iconic for the city?

Do you think it is a digital idea that would improve the way that news is collected and disseminated?

Adesida R.E & Partners Ltd & Digitel CS Media have put this iAbuja or The Abuja Eye concept in for the #innovateAFRICA
competition and we would like to know what you guys think about the concept.

Is our idea a WINNER?

Nigeria would be great! There is nothing that those ahead of us have built/done that we
the younger ones can't build better!

UP NAIJA!
