Soludo @66: Architect of Anambra's quiet digital revolution by Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata - Commentary@ITREALMS

The 66th floor:
Birthdays are a moment for celebration, reflection, and gratitude. But for transformational leaders, the true measure of their journey is found less in the years lived, and more in the institutions they build, the systems they strengthen, and the future they inspire.

As Governor Chukwuma Soludo marks his 66th birthday, it presents a compelling opportunity to reflect on a remarkable story unfolding quietly across the state: the story of how technology is becoming a fundamental pillar of governance.

NDSF 2015: With technology, youth don’t need human connection, says CFA

ITRealms

The founder, Tech-Trends@Channels, Mr. Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata, alias CFA has said that with technology the youth need not worry about having connection in order to succeed, reports ITRealms.

Mr. Agbata made this declaration in Lagos while speaking at the 2015 Nigeria DigitalSENSE Forum (NDSF) Series on Internet Governance for Development with the theme: “Net Neutrality and Nigerian Internet Users.” 

He said that there is absolutely no reason why about 50 million Nigerian youths should be unemployed, adding that in online there are a lot of opportunities waiting to be tapped.

As said by him, with technology one does not have to depend on human connection in Nigeria and the world at large to get linked up, insisting that the worse response anyone can get is no. 

Agbata who is equally a Columnist with DigitalSENSE Business News, maintained that the youth have the strength to do extraordinary things on the net without getting tied.

 

ITRealms also reports that Agbata used himself as a example, saying he studied Sociology but he is today doing technology because technology is the future, but was quick to add that the regulator must come in to assert some measure of control even though net neutrality is important, advising that Nigerian Communications Commission should make sure that the SIM card, for instance, is employed harmlessly for optimal performance.
