Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has encouraged new graduands of Nigerian University of Technology and Management(NUTM) to be innovators of solutions to Nigeria’s myriad of problems.

After all, he said, “those who built Dubai are men and women, not spirits.”

Prof. Osinbajo stated this Saturday in his keynote address to the founding class (2021) of the Nigerian University of Technology and Management (NUTM), a top notch school of innovation and technology.

According to the Vice President, “the most significant problems of this generation, especially in Africa, will require innovation in science, technology and the management sciences, especially entrepreneurship and innovative leadership, if we are to stand a chance of resolving them.”

Speaking at the institution’s maiden graduation ceremony of its flagship Scholars Programme, the Vice President noted that the graduands of the NUTM programme have what it takes to be among those who would in the future provide solutions to national and global challenges in different sectors.

“I think sitting before us today, the graduands of the NUTM Scholars Programme, we might just be beholding the men and women with the answers to some of the world’s most significant challenges. And there are many challenges indeed.
