The Director General of the National Board for Technology Incubation, NBTI, Dr. Kazeem Kolawole Raji, has promised to engage in the empowerment of youths in digital and technological innovations for the nation’s economic growth.

Raji, who stated this when he officially took over the mantle of leadership from the immediate past Director General, Uchenna Patricia Chukwu, in Abuja, explained that the Board remained an economic base in which the Gross Domestic Product, GDP, of the country could be grown.

He said, “Presently, what we are doing is electromechanical. And I’m bringing new initiatives on emerging technologies. Because when you talk about technology today, you talk about AI, that’s artificial intelligence. You talk about nanotechnology. You talk about blockchain technology. And if you look at what is happening today in Nigeria, you see that a lot of our youths, if you tap their brains, they can become useful to this country and to themselves, rather than engaging in nefarious activities.
