What is very clear is that some of these young people could be global citizens in the months and years ahead based on what the state has bequeathed to them through SkillUpImo
I WATCHED the Tech Walk in Imo State last week and was obviously elated as the mass of young people headed to the government house for a celebratory rendezvous with the Governor, Hope Uzodinma. My excitement derived from the fact that a seemingly young project which began about a year ago has got so much traction with the targeted population to the point that it is almost becoming a movement.
One of the primary pillars of The Digital Imo Agenda is the SkillUp Imo Project which, in three years, is ambitiously aimed at training and equipping 300,000 people with digital skills and knowledge, get them off the streets to be more useful to themselves and the society.
The young souls before him only hunger for the best and anything could stand for truth and the possible, especially if it is coming from a political leader. But the world outside was aghast, unable to understand why the governor that should be the one creating jobs and retaining talents should be the one organising their departure.
At some point, China felt overlooked and underestimated by the rest of the world and went insular to build capacity and technology. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, China exhibited its wares to the rest of the world that has not stopped asking for more. China is antagonised for being a clear leader in 5G technology. This was not the subject of politics. India contemplated the poverty of its people and decided to build a health sector that could take care of the ordinary folks.
