The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr Dele Alake has assured young people of not allowing their talents die but supported and tapped for national development.
Alake gave the assurance during the commissioning of Amal Technologies Limited Factory at Idu Industrial Estate, Abuja, as contained in a statement signed by the Head, Press and Public Relations, Alaba Balogun.
He said the talents of Nigerian youth are recognized and harnessed in the international community, and they are positively impacting those countries’ economies including politics.
Therefore, he counseled youth across the country to look inwards and discover the uncommon talents God has deposited and blessed them with, hence President Bola Tinubu has placed them as his priority under his policies, which according to the Minister, the Nigerian youths need to persevere and be courageously patient as they go through the policy gestation period of the present administration.
He also assured them that they will soon reap the results via positive implementation, monitoring and execution of critical strategies that will drive the economy for national growth.
He said: “Commissioning of Amal Technologies Limited Factory at Idu Industrial Estate, Abuja is a pacesetter of homegrown technology that synchronizes with the President’s ‘Renewed Hope’ Agenda to integrate the youths into the dream and vision of Nigeria’s economic emancipation.
“A restive population of youth with no constructive avenue for engagement will lead to disaster. It is to curb this that President Bola Tinubu decided to engage them as the drivers of inculcating the values of hard work, which will dovetail into economic rejuvenation.”
He (Alake) maintained that the importance of growing the youths into a force to reckon with in terms of entrepreneurship and self-reliance cannot be overemphasized, which the Minister urged the other young people in the country to emulate Amal Tech in not only dreaming big but to as well embark on bold endeavors to achieve clear objectives.
Meanwhile, he reaffirmed government’s commitment to create equal opportunities and conducive environment that will enable entrepreneurs to flourish for the betterment of the country.
According to the statement, Engr Amoru Musari, who represented President Bola Ahmed Tinubu; Minister of State Petroleum Resources (Oil), & Minister of State Petroleum Resources (Gas), said the commissioning of the facility represents a significant landmark in our quest to promote a research culture in the oil and gas industry through the nurturing of innovation driven startup companies. It also represents a breakthrough in local manufacturing of electronic circuitry and devices.
Musari noted that one of the proposals that have benefited from the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) Research and Innovation intervention is the Amal Technology gas leak device, which adopted Internet of Things (IOT) to introduce into the market a device that generates short message system (SMS) and calls on phones of homeowners in the event of a gas leak. This facility also has capability for Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manufacturing.
On his part, Chairman of Amal Technology Board, Mr Nuhu Yakubu, said that the company signifies the milestone of the journey through technology advancement and innovation, which has become integrated part of daily lives, adding that the production of smart devices and electronic equipment will immensely aid in the economic and societal progress.
Yakubu also explained that the factory presents the commitment into pushing the boundaries of development; creation of jobs; and multisectory growth “for our local economy.”
