Today at the headquarters of the Digital Bridge Institute (DBI), I had the distinct pleasure of welcoming the Vice Chancellor of Miva Open University, Professor Tayo Arulogun, and his distinguished team for the formal signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between our two institutions.

This partnership reflects our shared commitment to advancing academic excellence and fostering innovation in computer science and digital transformation. By joining forces, DBI and Miva Open University are setting the foundation for collaborative research, curriculum development, and capacity-building initiatives that will directly impact the future of digital education in Nigeria.

As President/CEO of DBI, I was honoured to sign the MoU alongside Professor Arulogun, marking a new chapter in a relationship that has long been rooted in mutual respect and shared vision.

Together, we are laying the groundwork for a future where learners and innovators thrive—and I look forward to the great outcomes that will emerge from this collaboration.

Today, I had the privilege of delivering a lecture to the management staff of the Plateau State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency (PLASCHEMA), here in Abuja, under the capable leadership of their Director General, Dr. Agabus Manasseh.

The session focused on the role of innovation and technology in transforming health insurance delivery - with reflections on data management, enrollee experience, and operational efficiency.

It was an engaging exchange of ideas, insights, and shared commitment to building stronger, more inclusive systems. I’m grateful for the opportunity and inspired by the energy in the room.

Looking forward to seeing how PLASCHEMA continues to lead and evolve in this critical space.

There are days when I wish for a simple break - time to stay home, watch a few movies, and recharge. But when that break finally comes, I find myself working even harder, driven by purpose and passion. Just today, from the comfort of my home, I completed the equivalent of three full days of office work.

Why? Because I am part of a small group of determined individuals committed to creating more than 50,000 jobs for young Nigerians this year. Setting that goal was just the beginning; delivering on it is where the real challenge - and opportunity lies.

We are focused. We are committed. The Renewed Hope Agenda is not just a vision - it is an unrelenting drive to open doors and create meaningful opportunities for Nigerians. We chose to be part of this mission, and we carry that responsibility with pride and purpose.

I am thrilled to announce the pre-launch of our BPO and Security Outsourcing Operations Centre right here at Digital Bridge Institute, Abuja alongside our big partner, the SBTS. As part of the activities, guests participated in an exclusive facility tour, where we showcased our cutting-edge infrastructure and vision for excellence.

We were especially privileged to welcome distinguished guests, including the Director Generals of the Nassarawa and Benue State ICT Agencies, as well as a representative of the Director General of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA). Their presence highlighted the strategic importance of this initiative to Nigeria’s digital and economic development.

This is more than just a physical facility - it is a bold step in nation-building, aimed at creating sustainable jobs and contributing to President Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s agenda of employment generation and economic revitalization.

We look forward to the official launch in the coming weeks - stay tuned!

God bless President Ahmed Bola Tinubu.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
