Yesterday, I was lucky to attend the Africa Youth Tech Empowerment Conference hosted by #Sikhona It was an amazing experience where I got to meet and learn from great people in the tech industry. Dr. Michael Thompson (President of Sikhona) shared an important message about how outsiders control most of our technology, and why we should focus on becoming producer instead of just consumers. Dr. Victor also gave us a thought-provoking technical question related to the Abuja Marathon. [MrGrantMoney], Dr. Rodney Walker had exciting news for us, including a $100K funding pledge to support 10 startup businesses. One of the best moments for me was getting the chance to ask Dr. Michael Thompson directly about the free courses Sikhona will be offering, including cybersecurity and many others. He answered my question clearly and gave a very detailed response. Overall, it was an inspiring and eye-opening event. I’m grateful for the knowledge I gained and the amazing people I got to meet.
