9mobile urges youths to embrace tech for businesses

9mobile has restated its support for youth entrepreneurship and innovation, urging Nigerian youths to take advantage of the opportunities that technology offers to optimize their businesses and professional endeavours.

The telecom company stated this during a virtual session, titled “Driving Youth Innovation in Business through Technology”, organized by 9mobile at the weekend to mark this year’s International Youth Day.

The session was facilitated by a business coach, Tricia OlufemiOlumide (Tricia Biz) and social entrepreneur, Olusola Amusan.

Tricia Biz noted that innovation doesn’t necessarily mean inventing something new or that has never been done before, but simply about improvement.

‘‘It is improving your current business to achieve your goals & objectives, grow your income, reach more people and impact more people’’, she said.

Amusan noted that with digitalization and globalization, the economic impact of technology and innovation is compelling and huge for the youths and entrepreneurs.

He stated, “As a business owner you must constantly familiarize yourself with emerging technologies to stay relevant with time. In addition, you must then educate your team to achieve better workplace collaboration.”

Executive Director, Regulatory and Corporate Affairs, 9mobile, Mr Abdulrahman Ado said the discussions highlights the very strategic and important roles youths play in the general context of the global economy for growth and sustainability.
