The Standard Bearer of the Democratic National Allegiance (DNA), William Tuider, has engaged in a strategic collaboration with INNOV8 Hub, a leading technology and innovation centre based in Nigeria.
This groundbreaking initiative, according to information gathered by the Inquirer Newspaper is aimed at empowering Liberian students, especially those from the University of Liberia (UL) and other universities.
The partnership also seeks to equip students with essential skills in innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship, fostering a new generation of leaders capable of driving economic growth and social change in Liberia.
In a dispatch from Nigeria, Tuider narrated, “I met with INNOV8 Hub Abuja’s General Manager, Meir Dagan, and Managing Director, Gregory Ibe, and I am currently in discussions with Innov8 Hub to bring them to Liberia to partner with the University of Liberia.”
According to him, the goal is to train Liberian students in innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship, disclosing that Innov8 Hub is an Israeli NGO focused on fostering innovation and skills development.
He maintained, “Our discussions have been very positive, and I hope to finalize an agreement in the coming weeks because my vision is to establish and build an Innovation Hub in Liberia in collaboration with universities in the country.”
“And this hub will also empower students with skills across multiple industries, including Agriculture, Technology, Digital Design, Research, Material Processing and Entrepreneurship for our students,” Tuider revealed.
The DNA’s Standard Bearer further disclosed that the initiative will be a valuable addition to Liberia’s educational system and economy, fostering a culture of innovation and preparing Liberian youth for future opportunities.
He emphasized the importance of education and innovation in shaping Liberia’s future, and added, “Our youth are the backbone of this nation, and we must provide them with the tools they need to succeed in an increasingly competitive global landscape as such, this collaboration with INNOV8 Hub is a significant step towards achieving that goal.”
Meanwhile, Mr. Tuider has revealed that the three young students sent on scholarship to Nigeria in September 2023, have graduated in Basic Aircraft Technical Course from Landover Aviation Business School in Lagos, Nigeria.
The students are Faith Morgan, Henry Beto Gargar, and D’Enoch Murray, as they are currently doing their practical training at Lagos Airport and Abuja Airport in Nigeria before their intermediate course.
Mr. Tuider asserted that the three students are being paid for their training and added, “We are also preparing to send an additional three more students this year from Liberia to Nigeria, ensuring Liberian students get the required education to contribute to Liberia’s rebuilding processes.
