The Public and Private Partnership (PPP) initiative of the Ogun State Government has again attracted technology investors that will give free training to youths in the State on phone and other Tech device repairs.
Governor Abiodun stated this at Ogun TechHub during the official launch of Cybervilla, a tech company committed to incubating business ideas in citizens of Ogun State, especially youths, for self-reliance in the sales and repair of phones, laptops, and other office equipment.
According to the Governor, the centre was strategically located at Ogun TechHub being a place where young people develop technology ideas, adequate mentorship, leadership and entrepreneurship skills, saying acquiring vocational education was key to youth development in the digital economy.
Reacting, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Cybervilla, Ifeanyi Adirika, disclosed that Ogun State was a springboard for innovation, giving systematic attractions to investors such as Cybervilla and other Tech companies to thrive in the state.
Adirika added that Cybervilla has come to spread its tentacles just to support Governor Abiodun’s initiative on youth empowerment, noting that 50 youths were targeted for the first cohort, equipping them with necessary work tools as well as employment opportunities with the company, the State government, among others.
He said that the display as well as sales of Tech devices would commence at Ogun TechHub, making it possible for the trainees to have access to various gadgets for installation and repairs, towards enhancing their productivity before and after the twelve-week hands-on classes.
Appreciating the Ogun State Government and Cybervilla on behalf of other participants, Mr. Timilehin Ajisebutu promised to utilise the rare but free opportunity that would make them employers of labour in the long run.
