Politics / Samsung Opens New Academy In Lagos. by EkoAtlantic: 6:06pm On Aug 10, 2013 |
Samsung Electronics West Africa, in partnership with the Eko Project, a World Bank assisted initiative aimed at improving the quality of public secondary education, has launched the third Samsung Electronics Engineering Academy in Lagos as part of its goal to develop 10,000 electronics engineers across Africa by 2015. The Academy, located within the Agidimgbi Technical College, Ikeja, was opened by the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babatunde Fashola SAN in company of commissioners of education, science and technology and other senior officials of the State including Samsung system leadership and partners in Nigeria. During the commissioning, Governor Babatunde Fashola said there is an urgent need to develop technical skills in students, noting that existing technicians are ill- equipped to repair new appliances because they lack access to modern technology. According to him, “Upcoming technicians must be exposed to cutting edge technology if they are to remain competitive. The ability to repair the latest technology is key to wealth creation for technicians”. Governor Fashola commended Samsung for partnering with the Lagos State Government on the Academy, stressing that the college is not only a knowledge hub but will also open up job opportunities for the people of Lagos, which is in line with his administration’s drive to create jobs, especially for young citizens. Speaking at the event, the Managing Director, Samsung Electronics West Africa, Nicholas Shin said, “Our aim is to promote co-operation, innovation, wealth creation and to facilitate thought leadership in the communities in which we operate in response to their real needs and conditions”. "The Samsung Engineering Academy programme is our flagship CSR initiative undertaken in response of the need to develop a skilled workforce of technicians who will become service experts empowered to create wealth. Samsung, as a quality service-oriented company, aims to link CSR activities with our business goal of sustaining our level of innovation. This can only be achieved if we invest in quality education to empower the youth”, he adds. The Samsung Electronics Engineering Academy, equipped with the latest electronics, is aimed at addressing the dearth of technical and engineering skills in Nigeria by providing hands-on, vocational skills training for secondary school students. Students will go through a year’s program in engineering skills, aligned to their technical school’s curriculum. The Academy will initially admit 60 students. Upon completion of the programme, graduating students are automatically eligible for an internship at Samsung's channel partners. Outstanding performers will have the opportunity to work as independent service technicians or employees in the company’s retail channel outlets. They also stand a chance of being selected to participate in a year-long leadership opportunity at Samsung Electronics’ headquarters in South Korea as part of the 100 African Young Leaders program. Samsung started the first phase of academies in South Africa in March 2011. The South African Academy officially ended its pilot phase when the first class of students graduated in January, 2012. In February, a second Academy was launched in Kenya. Other examples of Samsung Africa’s education initiatives include the world-first Solar Powered Internet School model designed to address the issue of rural connectivity, and the Samsung E-learning Centres aimed at enhancing learning and teaching through the use of modern technology. Along with the Samsung Electronics Engineering Academies, these programs are part of the company’s global ‘Hope for Children’ initiative, which places a strategic focus on bringing attention to the worldwide need for childhood education and healthcare in an effort to improve communities worldwide. http://www.biztechafrica.com/article/samsung-opens-new-academy-lagos/6623/ 6 Likes

Travel / GOL Airline To Begin Flights To Lagos by EkoAtlantic: 6:18am On Aug 09, 2013 |
FRIDAY, 09 AUGUST 2013 Following the formalisation of its papers with the Nigerian government, Sao Paulo based low cost Brazilian airline-GOL is to begin flight operations between Lagos and Sao Paulo. An official of the carrier who spoke to The Guardian in Lagos on Tuesday disclosed that the Ministry of Aviation and all other relevant agencies had given their approval. The carrier operates state-of-the-art Boeing aircraft with a new and modern fleet, GOL’s operations are differentiated by reduced maintenance costs and low fuel consumption, which translates into high use and efficiency rates for the company. It would be recalled that GOL purchased VARIG in 2007 and for eleven years, GOL has been driving the Brazilian aviation market to develop, always presenting innovative and pioneering products, services and processes. The firm has made air travel in Brazil and in South America affordable. The airline currently offers extensive and convenient route network in South America and the Caribbean, with almost 950 flights a day to over 63 destinations, domestic and international, in 14 countries. Combined with operational partnerships with foreign and domestic companies, GOL’s route network is among the best for clients that want to travel to Brazil, within Brazil, or from Brazil. GOL can offer such efficient services because it has a business model based on structures, systems and controls that enhance the quality, high technology, safety and standardization of its fleet, as well as the motivation and productivity of its team. With a constant focus on reducing costs, the company’s strategy is defined by profitable growth through a low-cost and high quality structure for providing service to clients. In accordance with its corporate objectives, GOL once again revolutionsed Brazilian aviation when it acquired VRG Linhas Aéreas, operating the VARIG brand, on March 28, 2007. The acquisition was one of the most important steps in GOL’s history, allowing it to expand its market coverage and operating capacity. http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/business-travel/129346-gol-brazilian-airline-set-to-begin-flight-to-lagos 1 Like |

ShymX: Impressive! Yes, they are spreading developmental ideas that are suitable for each state in southwest. Industrial estates thrives better in Lagos, Ogun and Oyo. Ekiti and Osun deals more with agriculture which the governors there are really investing on. Ondo is also doing great in agricultural programs, mineral extraction and little of industrialization. Note that Nigeria's biggest refinery is to be built in Ondo state by Dangote, worth $8billion. I wish Ondo can also buid her mini sea port(she's not landlocked) to reduce the pressure on the one in Lagos.

Politics / Re: Eko: The Coastal Road From Lekki To Ondo State Is Bad, No Investment by EkoAtlantic: 6:14am On Aug 08, 2013 |
Aare, there are roads from Lagos mainland linking Ondo. E.g.Ikorodu-Ijebu Ode-Ore road, Lagos-Ibadan-Ile Ife-Akure road, Ikorodu-Shagam-Ore road. I don't think there is need now to construct any road directly from Lekki to Ondo. Most of the Islands in Ondo are creeks and not where real settlements are. Ondo's cities and town(I.e. Akure, Ondo town and Ore) are far away from the ocean unlike Lekki. Checkout these satellite maps:
