The Third Estate president said technology had proven to be a huge sector with lots of opportunities waiting to be grabbed, advising Nigerian youths to see it as a lucrative career path.
“Technology is the best knowledge the youth needed to tap into and I urged the participants to use knowledge acquired during the training to tackle issues around them,” he said.

A former Commissioner for Education in the state, Alhaji Raji Muhammed, called on the beneficiaries to make use of what they learned during the six-month intensive training to change their lives for the better.
Muhammed advised them to always allow honesty, perseverance, diligence and good moral conduct be their guiding principles while discharging their duties.
Speaking on behalf of the participants, Malam Saad Bolaji, commended the organisers for the gesture and prayed Allah to bless them more.
He said the knowledge they have acquired had turned them to job creators, rather than job seekers (NSN).
