Determined to ensure that the unreached and under-served members of the public get a chance to enjoy the 11/11-12/12 Mega Black Friday deals, Yudala had stormed both locations by 9am with truck-loads of genuine products from various categories including Home Appliances, Computing, Electronics, Mobile phones, Lifestyle/Consumer Goods, Power Solutions, Food, Wines/Spirits, among others.

It turned out to be an opportunity of a lifetime for thousands of residents in Festac, Satellite Town, Amuwo-Odofin, Agboju, Alakija, Ojo Alaba and environs to shop genuine products at best prices unmatched in the marketplace.

For Mrs. Toyin Moroundiya, a lecturer at the Lagos State University, it was a dream come true.

“In fact, I didn’t believe it at first when I heard about it. I just rushed over and actually it is real. The TV set I had in mind to buy was available here and it’s actually half the price. This is awesome. I think everybody should take advantage of it. Yudala is real,” she gushed.

Another shopper, Arinze Obi, could not hide his excitement after grabbing a number of bargain deals on various items.

Left to me, if I am the President of Nigeria, I will find a way to encourage Yudala because they are the only company giving the community what they want at very affordable prices and most importantly, what they sell is very good products, original products.”

He urged other shoppers to follow his footsteps in shopping wisely this season.

“I was directed here by a friend. I was just prepared to get a phone but I just decided to try and see what Yudala is doing, so I drove down here. I was really surprised that Yudala could slash their prices. In fact, Yudala is the best. I had only wanted to shop for an iPhone but ended up buying so many lovely items from them and I am highly impressed. I’m so happy. I just wish they can keep on coming here and making people smile and happy. God will bless the company.”

Barr. Shittu said in its efforts to fill the about 24 percent IT vacancies in the country, the ministry “plans to build technical and job-ready ICT skills to replace expatriate expertise with highly skilled Nigerians, increase the supply of local highly skilled talent to a fast growing sector and enhance ICT industry employment opportunities.

He said, “ so far, Digital Bridge Institute and other tertiary institutions are concluding an agreement with IBM (Skills Development and Research Institutes) to train 25,000 resources in 5 years (2013-2018) per institute.

web-based information and applications, telephones and other telecommunication and multimedia products, e-commerce is the buying and selling of goods and services over the internet and web enabling technologies which are products that can be used through or in conjunction with the world wide web to surf the internet.”

Speaking at the Summit, Barr. Shittu said that youths are cardinal members of the internet ecosystem and that the ministry is strategically inclined to bringing up initiatives to cater for the interest of the nation’s youth population and working closely with various partners at national, regional and global levels to ensure massive youth employment while fast-tracking the rejuvenation of the national economy.

He said the theme of the summit, “ICT as a Formidable Tools For Nigeria’s Economic Rejuvenation and Massive Job Creation”, is apt at this time that the country is moving out of recession and all hands are on deck to ensure gradual economic growth.

According to the minister, ICTs are creating new job opportunities and making labour markets more innovative, inclusive, and global and that there is a shift from traditional labour intensive jobs to technology-enabled jobs, adding that the ICT sector has come to play a critical role in the sustainable growth and development of nations.
