Chuka Ofili on Harnessing the Power of Technology for Nigeria’s Youth

Chuka Ofili, during the Platform Nigeria May 2023 hosted by The Covenant Nation, addressed the audience about the importance of technology in empowering Nigeria’s youth. He emphasized that by 2025, 97 million jobs will be created in the tech industry, requiring individuals skilled in sales and content marketing. He urged attendees to recognize their value if they possess technology skills, as money follows value.

Ofili encouraged everyone to view problems within their ecosystem as potential opportunities, emphasizing the significance of creating value rather than chasing money. He stated that entrepreneurs are those who innovate for value, and as more problems emerge, more opportunities arise.

He called for various stakeholders to play their roles in fostering a tech-driven culture. The government should implement tech policies that support start-ups and enact pro-technology laws. Private sectors should establish internship programs, and educational institutions should incorporate tech skills into their curricula. Parents and guardians also play a crucial role in encouraging curiosity.

Ofili emphasised the importance of self-development as a technology specialist, as it adds value. With 80 million Nigerian youths, there is an immense potential for them to tap into technology and contribute to the country’s progress. He reminded the audience that the internet serves as a free university to upskill themselves and create value, urging everyone to take responsibility and play their part in this transformation.
