How does one get access to it, is it free? I think it’s a welcome development, alongside the likes of cchub and zonetech park, Nigeria’s technology space will more than double in talent, startups and venture capital by 2022.

Even if you are in tech, one has to be very careful and look into the future, everybody is into web development or machine learning today(I admit this is a good time to get into data science), but soon these jobs will be automated and it’ll basically be the dotcom crisis over again.

I hate to imagine a future where you’d be earning peanuts as a full stack dev. Digital marketing has reached its tipping point has has gone under

It’s wiser to go into security, networking, hacking,
or operating systems, Linux or windows etc These are the more difficult, less glamorous jobs with higher entry requirements, but they pay so well and will still be in demand in the future ( security experts earn as much as senior full stack developers which feels unfair to me)

[color=#990000][/color]Digital technology is the key to doing business in this new decade. If you ain't plugged in the system, you are definitely missing out big time.
