 On the other hand, to business news, Nigerians and indeed Africans have been encouraged to holler and promote tailor-made solutions to cater to indigenous demands. This advice was given on the sidelines of a graduation ceremony for Nigerians who underwent training on semiconductor design by Chip Lab. Just an academy tells us more. The semiconductor technology stands as a cornerstone for modern economies and as such, invested in this domain, could unlock substantial foreign exchange earnings through localized processing of raw materials and export of semiconductor products. Olaf Adinro and Yeng Chor add to visionaries who have pledged to redefine the landscape of technology in Africa and the extension of the world, where the Chip Lab cohorts they have trained young Nigerians on chip design. On the sidelines of the graduation, they speak more about their drive. So, what we're doing is essentially bringing Nigerian Africa to the table to build the AI custom chips and so it could be used to solve, we could create our own Nigerian chat GPT for example, or different kind of applications. But there's also a huge amount of software developers who are having a hard time making a living. So, in the chip development world, there's a huge global shortage of qualified skill and the earning potential for that is massive. For example, our graduates, we're targeting that they'll be making 10x, 10 times what a normal start graduate salary would be and that's life changing. Chairman of the Nigerian's Indasperal Commission, Abike Dabir Erewa, is here to show the federal government's support. She gives insight on the enormous potentials Nigerians both home and abroad possess as well as what these feet means for the country. We'll be exporting microchips to other parts of Africa. So we should support and encourage young Nigerians like these that are talented and they're all over the world. So that's why we're here and I believe in him. I believe in the young generation of Nigerians both at home and in the diaspora. What we need to do is encourage them. No doubt, this venture has the potential to stimulate job creation, elevate local contents development for the international community and also bolster a more resilient economic environment. They're looking to keep that talent here in Nigeria. That's kind of the intent behind the idea. And so I think by keeping the talents here in Nigeria will allow for any number of issues to to be looked at, considered and ideally solved. We want Africa to be the forefronters in building chips in this part of the world and we want Nigeria to be the country leading that thing, leading it. So that's the reason why we decided to start something that has to do with chip design and also we want women at least 60% of women to be part of this movement because if you know very well, women pay more attention to details because designing chips involves details. In all, the idea is providing a solution to the global skills shortage as graduates of the academy would work with top microchips and semiconductor industries in the world. Hello.
