Innovators, builders, makers and entrepreneurs in the Abia Technology & Innovation Network (ATIN), I want to publicly thank all for the vision which all of you have articulated, and shared with us, as we work to craft a great vision for Abia State. In many conversations with Governor-elect, Dr Alex Otti, he noted that he wants Abia to be a home for all techies.
In the next coming days, I will be meeting all of you to understand and know how Abia can become a destination for the development, application and deployment of modern technology in Africa. We want to serve and meet your needs, expectations and perceptions, because we want all of you!
Nigeria’s GDP is about $0.5 trillion. We are about 220 million people. The GDP of the United States is about $24 trillion for 330 million people. Do they have four heads? No. At parity, the GDP of Nigeria should not be less than $3 trillion and the implication is that everything we have now should be 6x multiple. So, you have 6 Dangotes, 6 Elumelus, 6 Innoson Motors, 6 Lagos and 6 “Everything”. To join the ATIN network, contact Tochukwu Clinton Chukwueke; he is based in Aba and runs Clintonel Innovation Centre.
