The end of the second 'ember' month of 2022.  My opinion, if you ask,  is that the cup is half-full not half-empty.

So today a glinpse at a WEEK OF DIGITAL ENTREPRENURSHIP.

It started with the coming into effect of Nigeria Start-ups Act 2022 earlier.  The object of the Act is to enhance innovations and creativity.  Everyone has something to benefit from the Act.  Think about digitalized professionalism.

Reports say it's the largest Digital Economy in Africa. Of course it should, going by population and size of Nigeria's economy, as well as the depth of digital connectivity.

Digital Economy Industry Working group (DEIWG) has been inauguarated. The purpose of the the platform is to instigate public-private dialogue.

Thereafter Lectures were organized to dissect the scheme and generate ideas for successful implementation. You need to search for the resources and you'd see that so much is in stock for the public, especially entrepreneurs.

For those in Advanced Digital Content Creation, it would be a field day.  Common pools of legal resources would no longer be for high profile law firms and businesses only.

Right now construction of Digital Economy complex that would house Nigeria Start-ups is on the way ..   and speedily too.

The wake up call is for every digital minded people and entrepreneurs to start taking advantage of the provisions of the Act. 

A very good and valuable opportunity if you ask me. 

That's why at IDEA WORKSHOP we've arranged basic digital Start-up skills that beginners would use as foundation for a meaningful online business adventure.

Stop procrastinating, reality is inside of you. Just say you can.

Our mission is to provide the opportunity for you to start implementing those ideas you've been nursing without results.

COUNTING THE LOSSES

As ASSU calls off the eight-months old strike which has paralysed education sector and  the economy apparently the time to commence counting the losses inflicted by the behemoth has come.

At the just ended United Nations General Assembly (UNGA77) the President of World Bank group hit the nail on the head when he aptly observed:

"A silent learning crisis is unfolding that has become devastating shock to human capital.  We need to work to prevent further damage and build more effective systems. We urge you the world leaders, to meet this crisis head-on and act to improve learning outcomes for all children everywhere"

If you extrapolate that to Nigerian situation you'd find a devastating blow not only to the students and their financial losses, but also a blow that has thrown the Federal Government off balance. 

Certainly this is a tough time for all the stakeholders in this prolonged strike action requiring each of them to mitigate their losses.

Our sympathy is always on the students and their sponsors for going through the rough road. Yet, there must be something to fall back on......

One or two skills acquisition training should have been completed during that period of discontent and unproductivity.

Some of the students that took advantage of our training program are better equipped than their counterparts.

You're welcome to DM and find out details of how to keep learning even when you've been stopped from continuing by circumstances beyond your control.

Your progress.

EPITOME OF CSR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN ALUMINA

Copied "The acting Dean of Medical College, University of Ibadan,Prof Adebola Ogunbiyi ,invited all the old students who are now doctors produced by the college to a zoom meeting. The reason for the meeting was not farfetched. The professor was sick with worry about the infrastructure decay and rot at the medical college she oversees in Ibadan. She is aware that the Nigerian government is too broke to fund it, so she came up with a master stroke, which was to tap into the resources and social capital of the alumni produced by the medical college scattered all over the world to give the medical college a facelift. A Zoom meeting was fixed on Monday, two days ago, and the link was sent to the former students of the medical college. Starting off the meeting, Prof. Ogunbiyi narrated the challenges and plight the current medical students at the college are facing. The current medical students of the college need a new hostel and their classes also need to be refurbished. The acting Dean of the college ended her speech by appealing to the alumni of the college to support her in rebuilding and restoring the lost glory of the medical college. Her speech opened the floodgates of donations from the medical doctors produced by the Medical College, University of Ibadan. The donations were coming in trickles. 1 million naira here 200,000 there. Until it got to the turn of Dr. Philip O. Ozuah(attached in the picture), an old student of the college who is currently the President and CEO of Montefiore Medicine in New York. Philip Ozuah did not say too much as he went straight to the point of making a donation of $1,000,000 (700,000,000). In his words, UI’s medical college shaped and refined him into the man he is today, so he has the duty to give back to the school. When Dr. Philip announced the $1,000,000 donation, all of the old students in the zoom session began shouting, "Wow!" Wow, like an ambulance’s siren. Even the dean, who called the zoom meeting, was speechless as she did not see that coming. None of the old students of the medical college could donate again since Ozuah had set a standard they could not match. From shouting Wow! Wow! The Zoom fundraising meeting came to an end with the closing prayer said immediately. It should be noted that Ozuah had his medical degree certification at the University of Ibadan and did his internship at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital before he proceeded to Southern California for his Master's program and got his PhD from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Let no one deceive you; legit money is good and makes life very easy to live and navigate. Copied
