Olaniyan said this during the launch of EGO Foundation’s Ghetto Tech Stars programme, a 4-week intensive boot camp where participants will be trained in selected technology skills. The event attracted over 150 youths within the Ajegunle community and its environs with the selected 50 youngsters to scale through the boot camp and come out as fellows of the Ghetto Tech Stars programme.
He said, “Democratizing technology skills is extremely important to sustaining our Human Capital Development in Africa. Making technology skills available to young people living in underserved communities would in no little way increase their living standards as they earn from these technology skills. Improved living and economic condition is what we stand for at EGO Foundation” he said.
