Varsity challenges youths on technology advancement

As Nigeria hopes to revive the economy through the non-oil sector, especially through the Information and Communications Technology (ICT), students and youths have been challenged to take up skills in technology.

Making this charge is the Vice Chancellor of The Paul University Awka, Venerable Prof  Uche Isiugo-Abanihe, when the school joined the world to mark her first ever Computer Science Education Week.
techTechnological innovation is not just for computer science study, as there is hardly any sector in Nigeria that can flourish today without ICT, which is a potent tool to lift the nation out of recession if fully embraced by the youths, who make up the highest percentage of Nigeria’s population.


He applauded the feats of the students of Paul University, who built mobile and web apps to meet the needs and solve societal problems.
While applauding the Founder of Women in Technology of Nigeria (WITIN), Mrs. Martha Omoekpen Alade, for bringing the Young Coders Club to Paul University, a hub that grooms young developers, the Vice Chancellor stressed the need for government to make the economy stable for the populace to come out with innovations that will solve peoples’ problem.

The VC commended the outstanding students, who pitched their apps to the entire university community. They include Ezewanne Chidinma, Ejimgini Ginika, Maureen Osita, Nzelu Adaobi, Isaac Ogochukwu and Ofo-muogbo Daniel, who built “RIBE – An Igbo Cuisine app”; Ibegbu Christian Amala; Anaso Ebuke Precious; Nwogu Kelechi; Nwose Benjamin Ebuka and Muanya Ugochukwu (Built “Tourist Buddy app”).
