Country Director, Science Ambassador Foundation, Peace Nnabugwu, said: “UREC in collaboration with Sterling Alternative Finance (SAF) will equip graduating students with work ethics to excel in their chosen careers. Our goal is to empower graduate students with the right innovative skills. This is wholly based on ideation, which is very crucial to the innovation ecosystem…”
The goal, she stressed, “is to take 5,000 students through the leadership and mentoring programme. The students will be taken through virtual interaction and organised hands-on practical sessions. They will be grouped into clusters of 100 students per unit with assigned international and local mentors.”
She expressed optimism that this level of synergy would place UREC and Kwara State on the global educational map and increase investments in the initiative.
