The National Association of University Students has urged the Federal Government to support entrepreneurship by building technology hubs for graduates and students across the country, where new skills and innovations could be learnt.

The NAUS Chair of Presidents, Solomon Adodo, stated this in Abuja at a press briefing on Friday, noting that the establishment of such technology hubs was an effective way to reduce poverty and unemployment in the country.


Adodo said there must be public-private partnership to drive development in the country, adding that the briefing was also to recognise one of the “country’s most innovative private investors and Managing Director of Jamub Group of Companies, Jacob Momoh.”

The students’ body called on the Federal Government to ensure the revamping of the university system to encourage technology and innovations.

Adodo said, “We want the government to create innovation hubs for our teeming graduates. The hubs must be equipped and must be situated in all the geo-political zones in this country. Such hubs will serve not only the graduates, but also university students. This is where we can fertilise ideas, sharpen skills and drive innovations.

“There cannot be educational advancement until we get to this level. The public and the private sectors must join hands in revitalising and uplifting the standard of education in our country.

“Nigerian students are proud of the entrepreneurial innovations of some private individuals in the country and one of them is Prince Momoh. We want other private investors in the country to toe this line and help to reduce not only illiteracy but also poverty.

“These are the panaceas to the many crises the country is facing at the moment.”

Momoh, in his reactions, noted that a crime-free country could only be achieved through quality education and innovations, urging the students to work towards achieving innovative and entrepreneurship skills.

He added that a scholarship lottery, which would be inaugurated before July, was conceived to raise funds to lessen the burden of pupils who were lacking quality basic education.

Stupid!

Fuccck that!!!
We need Electricity.
Nigerian youths are very enterprising but we don't have an enabling environment.

Give us 24/7 electricity, good roads, health and security and reduce the tax rate.

Is that too much to ask for

Give us these things and watch our youths do wonders. We will shine and bring glory to this country but we need enabling environment!

All these aforementioned are not the only things to look into in this country, educational and curriculum innovation is a pivotal aspect to look into by the Nigerian Government. Churching out half-baked graduate as a result of outdated curriculum these lecturers use is also a crippling problem to the educational system at large. Not forgetting curbing the unbridled and unfettered corruption that has eaten into every sector in this country, so these are the key aspect.

Don't mind the guy, requesting for digital output from outdated folks. If he had said cattle ranch, he'll get support from the corrupt political crooks.
Voting out Buhari is the first step towards restoring some sanity in the system.

I 100% agree with you. Without solid education, no country can really grow.
However, i believe so much in our youths that i know that even with poor education, we can excel if given enabling environment.
