Our definition of a product is one that meets a tangible need and provides value to the consumer and/or the environment. Our goal is to have local solutions to local problems. We understand the lack of infrastructure and basic resources create a rather unique environment and we are facing it head on.
This is more than a MADE IN NIGERIA initiative as a billion Africans experience the same hardships and challenges. This is a grassroots move by a series of Africans from different sectors and industries to add value and change life as we know it through technology and education.
Our products, inventors and ideas are the first of so many that will transform OUR society. We are not dependent on governmental support and have chosen to forge a path of our own. There needs to be a shift in ideology and understanding. The way we think about problems needs to change.
We need to embrace our future and own the fact that we can determine it. That WE have an effect on how, what, where and when these can be solved. We can only do this through working together to find solutions and technology offers such a platform.
The mentality of defeat must be replaced with one of curiosity, we must shed the yokes of days past and approach and take on a renewed outlook because therein lies our solution.
