My Inaugural Address to NASENIHQ Staff, at NASENI Headquarters, Idu, Abuja, on Monday September 4, 2023. Together we will renew NASENI, and make it a central player in Nigeria’s technology revolution.
My vision for the new NASENI is an open and welcoming institution to new ideas, new technologies, and new opportunities. I am interested in how we can transform 1 plus 1 from two into eleven.
Happy 57th Birthday to His Excellency, Vice President
