Obaseki to make Edo number one in Technology market
As shared by Governor Obaseki on Facebook
“As I received the British Deputy High Commissioner, Ben Llewellyn-Jones, who was on a courtesy visit at the Government House, Benin City, I restated my administration’s plan to place the state on the top spot of emerging technology markets in Africa.
We are building tech hubs and now moving into building technology parks, where we will train our young ones using technology. Our goal is to train between 10,000 and 20,000 software engineers in the next five years, to make us competitive like other countries, as well as position us as an emerging market in the area of technology.
We just finished the first phase of Edo State Oil Palm Programme (ESOPP) where we gave out about 50,000 hectares of land to about eight investors and groups. None of them was from the UK. As we make further investments, we look forward to working with them.
On his part, the deputy British high commissioner expressed his being happy to be in Edo State and that we would be discussing on how to bring economic development into Edo State, as well as supporting British businesses here.”
