Last updated on September 11th, 2021 at 03:13 pm

President Muhammadu Buhari has said Nigeria has no reason to remain underdeveloped. He therefore identified technology as a catalyst for the country’s development.

The President, who was represented on Saturday by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo at the graduation ceremony of Senior Executive Course 41 of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, Jos, said the opportunities in technology were endless.

“We can simply leapfrog and there is so much room for that and we don’t have to evolve through the decades again. We are already positioned to take advantage of technology to move the development further,” Buhari said.

The President also said agriculture was another sector that was being transformed by technology.
