Igbinedion University Okada last week Wednesday exhibited a range of products produced by its students in commemoration of its 10th year exhibition anniversary.
The exhibition which showcased fashion design, IT acquisition skills, shoe making, HITECH, catering, textile designs, chemicals and various products was a sight to behold.
IUO Vice Chancellor, Prof Lawrence Ikechukwu Ezemonye while addressing the various groups that participated said the programme is designed to flush out unemployment, unemployability and underemployment from the university’s system.
“Yes, every year reflects new trajection and that is because of the availability of knowledge in the ensuing years. What we knew yesterday is not the same thing as what we know today.
You will see that in the recent past, thought were more on the analogue entrepreneurial thinking but today the entrepreneurial thinking is more digitalized, it is ICT driven. InfoTech and HiTech are the real technological prowess that are driving entrepreneurship.
So what we have seen today is a reflection of the revolution that we are on now, the digital revolution and that is what we have seen today.
So this year’s product exhibition is really HiTech and it has been embellished so much now with the new hub that you saw, the digital hub that is the hub for innovation and creativity; so it shows a significant difference to what used to happen in the past.
But that is going with the time, the university moves with the time. The university does not stand still while the stock market sleeps, the university must grow because it is a global market that we are all shopping from, so for you to remain globally competitive, it must go with the time.
And that is why this university has a mantra of smart campuses and that is what you see today and we are happy that we are beginning to have a reflection of those thoughts, we are very happy.
