The venue is set for another intensive 2-week bootcamp in Enugu. It’s free for the selected 100 students. Majority of the participating students were top Olympiad in our last edition. They will learn how to build prototype technology that helps optimize energy consumption in homes (hardware and software). It should save homes billions of Naira in electricity bills. They will also develop prototype technology that eliminates election fraud at polling units (hardware and software). It’s a partnership with NITDA, @chilo_aco , and @enugusmeagency . The future is looking exciting.

10 years ago, I learned in a Development Communication class that if a government sacrifices human/capital development on the altar of infrastructural development, the infrastructure will suffer in the hands of the people. Ten years later, the theory still works.

Yesterday, I had the honour of celebrating the graduation of 850 young innovators from TechRise Cohort 3. These brilliant minds have completed intensive ICT training and are now equipped to shape Abia’s digital future. To encourage their excellent performance, I have: * Approved automatic employment into the State Civil Service for the 19 best-graduating students. * Directed that all 850 graduands receive ₦100,000 each. * Gifted them the laptops used during training, now theirs to keep. Beyond these, I have instructed our ministries to integrate TechRise talents into government ICT projects, ensuring their skills directly improve public service delivery. A special salary structure for ICT professionals in the civil service will also be introduced. I urge our graduands to remain committed to continuous learning. The greatest reward of the programme is the knowledge and skills they now possess. Use them to build businesses, create innovations, and uplift society—not for harmful purposes. I am particularly proud of the team that developed a functional drone. We will support them in moving this innovation from concept to commercial reality. Finally, we are working to establish international-standard ICT certification centres in Abia and expand internet access across the state in partnership with MTN. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to our graduands, once again. You are the true architects of our collective future.

Yesterday, I received the progress report from the Board and Management of the Abia State University Teaching Hospital (ABSUTH), led by Dr. Ezinne Kalu. After reviewing the report, I directed the immediate harmonization of the 2023 and 2025 Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS) for implementation at ABSUTH. This step is necessary to ensure clarity, fairness, and improved welfare for our healthcare professionals. Our administration has consistently invested in the health sector, dedicating 15% of the State’s annual budget to healthcare. This is not for profit, but to guarantee affordable and quality healthcare for every Abian. At the same time, we recognize that the welfare of our doctors, nurses, and other medical staff must be prioritized to retain talent and strengthen service delivery. We are repositioning ABSUTH as a world-class tertiary healthcare institution. From restoring lost accreditations to recovering concessioned facilities, and now addressing manpower, welfare, and power supply challenges, we are building the Teaching Hospital Abia deserves. I commend the ABSUTH Board for their detailed, data-driven report. Together, we will continue to transform ABSUTH into a center of excellence where Abians can access world-class healthcare right here at home.

I can see the future very clearly. I see a South East where millions of children are no longer educated merely to pass examinations, but to build things the world will buy. I see 13- and 14-year-olds building toys for Christmas, designing automated home systems, creating energy solutions, manufacturing electronics, solving security issues through technology and building drones in their hundreds of thousands to solve real African problems. And then something extraordinary will happen: children will become creators of wealth before they are old enough to look for jobs. Some will become multimillionaires as teenagers, not from speculation, but from knowledge, engineering and solving real problems. This is bigger than education. We are laying the foundation for an industrial revolution. We are raising a generation that will not look at technology and ask, “Where can we import this from?” They will ask, “How can we build it ourselves?” I can already feel this wave beginning. The energy is building. The mindset is changing. And once millions of young minds discover that mathematics, science and engineering give them the power to create, it will be incredibly difficult to stop them. So I will say this now, while it is still early: Start investing in the South East. A generation of builders is coming. And they are going to build things Africa has never seen before.

Just 20 minutes ago, York University, Canada has now reinstated this boy’s admission. They went through my X account, saw the concerns I raised about WAEC, and concluded that there was an issue with WAEC. The boy is now happy and will travel to Canada for his education.

Dear Alex. Thanks for all you are doing. This issue of WAEC result is now costing my son his admission at York University, Canada. We just received a mail advising that the University may not proceed with the admission due to the WAEC result which deviated significantly from

We were contacted by NITDA through the Enugu MSME & Startup Agency (Enugu SME Center) to extend our bootcamp to an additional 100 Olympiad children in Enugu. We will still handpick them from our Olympiad talent pool. The bootcamp will start on Monday August 24th, and will be holding in their facility in Enugu. The project they will work on during this 2-week bootcamp is to build smart technology to help reduce the amount of money spent on electricity in homes. It should be able to automatically turn off lights when not in use, as well as home appliances to conserve energy and save cost. This could save billions of Naira in homes. It will be a combination of hardware and software during the bootcamp. Our future is looking exciting.

The delegates from Rome will be coming to Nigeria in November to see the amazing geniuses we have here and the amazing work we are doing. They will also visit Enugu. We are gradually getting the global recognition we need for our industrial revolution.

We have now institutionalized ISEE, and it is now a formally registered non-governmental organization. ISEE was rejected several times by the Corporate Affairs Commission until we amended the name to INITIATIVE FOR SCHOOL EXCELLENCE AND EDUCATION FOUNDATION. Our chairman is Prof. Bath Nnaji, and I will continue to lead the vision. Our members are Nathan Nwachuku, Eke Urum, and Tony Udeani. The goal is for the vision to outlive our generation and lead us to civilization. This is the beginning of greatness for Africa.

Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it is not because you saw these signs that you are looking for Me, but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.
