The lawmaker representing Ikorodu Federal Constituency, Jimi Benson, on Tuesday morning visited the SAIL Innovation Lab in Ikorodu, Lagos, where he commended the facility for its commitment to innovation, digital learning and youth empowerment.
Benson, who visited the innovation hub earlier on Tuesday, said he was deeply impressed by the calibre of opportunities being created for young Nigerians to acquire relevant digital skills and compete in a rapidly evolving economy.
He described SAIL as more than a technology hub, noting that it provides young people with the skills, confidence and exposure needed to learn, innovate and create value.
The lawmaker also commended Senator Tokunbo Abiru and his wife, the SAIL Empowerment Foundation and the entire SAIL team for their visionary investment in human capital development.
“When we invest in skills today, we build the innovators and leaders of tomorrow,” Benson said.
He called for greater support for initiatives that equip young people with the knowledge and skills to innovate, create value and take on leadership roles in the future.
