The Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Friday, inaugurated the Senator Abiru Innovation Lab in the Ikorodu area of the state.
He said, “Africa missed the first Industrial Revolution; we also missed the second. We started with the Third Industrial Revolution at the tail end. We don’t have any excuse not to be key stakeholders in the coming Fourth and Fifth Industrial Revolutions, because it is the technology that will give up the leapfrog and make a young person sitting in Ikorodu compete with his peers across innovation capitals of the world.
“I am excited that the SAIL will be providing more opportunities for our young people to learn, relearn and grow their skills in the tech space and build a prosperous future for not only themselves but also our dear country. I congratulate Senator Abiru and his wife for this wonderful intervention.” Abiru explained that, “SAIL took off in 2021 in partnership with CcHub to deepen acceptance of tech innovation in the Lagos East Senatorial District, using a human-centred design approach.’’
The lab facility is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and is managed fully by the CcHub’s highly trained facilitators who take the wide range of programmes being offered free-of-charge to participants who come from different parts of the district.”All rights reserved.
