Shine Beyond The Screen! 

Few days ago, I was at a Students’ function put together by the Student Union Government of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, to speak on the theme; “Beyond the Screen: Empowering Minds Through Tech and Media”.

One thing that the internet and computer would never achieve is “replacing the human mind”. The need to look beyond the screen is an important paradigm shift that will shape the humanity we have been called to impact.  I emphasized that “Screens will always be a part of our lives. But, we must not live inside them. The real world — the one filled with people, with purpose, with pain, with possibility — that is the world we are called to shape”.

I did not forget to remind them of the opportunities intentionally created for young people by the Soludo administration, especially in the area of Tech through the Solution Innovation District (SID).

May the light of your ideas always shine beyond the screen.
