Chairman/CEO of Mosilo Group, Moses Siloko Siasia, has urged stakeholders in Nigeria’s Niger Delta Region to prioritize the inclusion of modern e-learning tools, agricultural farm estates and technological hubs as part of the region’s new regional development strategy.
Siasia made this known on Friday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria at the Niger Delta Stakeholders Summit organized by the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
According to Siasia, economic and infrastructural development “cannot be complete without human capital and social development, which are key to the advancement of every society”.
While noting that education is the best investment, he appealed for modern e-leaning tools to be included in the Niger Delta Regional Developmental Strategy.
Siasia, who noted that most young people in the region are not abreast with modern realities that is obtainable globally, also called for the establishment of skills acquisition centers to mentor and groom them.
He urged stakeholders in the region, especially the board and management of the NDDC, to “key into the modern trend of digitalization”.
Siasia added that the NDDC must “deliberately create institutions of tech hubs across the nine Niger Delta states to give our youth robust training capacity so that they can compete with their contemporaries anywhere in the world”.
He also commended the Board and Managing Director of the NDDC, Dr. Samuel Ogbuku for organising such a strategic summit, noting that it was timely for the region’s growth and advancement.
