Good day Sir, In a number of Academic institutions, many students are still a bit oblivious about Tech, Innovation, and the present state of things in that regard. How possible would it be to reach this (and similar) audience (s) in order to foster awareness about the possibilities in Tech and also ready them for financial stability beyond school borders. And where do you see the African Tech Ecosystem in the hands of a younger generation in the next couple of decades....?

Hmmm, I think most people have been in contact with tech already, they just might not think much about it. Most people in these academic institutions have smartphones and access to the internet. That's a valuable tool at their disposal.

While some of them are taking advantage of this opportunity like Emmanuel Njoku [https://techcabal.com/2022/02/24/meet-the-19-year-old-nigerian-building-his-own-blockchain-empire/], others aren't or aren't privileged to have access to this.

Fortunately, different organisations and agencies have different initiatives targeted at exposing young people to tech. We share some of them in our daily newsletter [https://techcabal.com/category/tc-daily/]

Also, at TechCabal, we're definitely looking forward to working with schools and communities to tell them more about tech. We even have a newsletter focused on people interested in entering tech coming up soon.

I think the younger generation is privileged to have more resources at their disposal and will do greater than this generation. Technological advancements tend to get better as time goes by. All is well.
