Mr Kitan Davis
Kitan Davis, one of the invited speakers spoke on tech for social good, sharing light on how Nigerian youths need to reinvent themselves through continuous personal development to be globally competitive.
We are advocates of the 3.R’s and its only natural for us to have a session that accommodates this. Thus, we had a skill acquisition session which trained participants on the use of recycled materials for making awesome and beautiful frames.
The participants were equipped with strategies that enables them have an Active Green Club in their respective schools and techniques to ensure participation of club members.
