Tech bridge foundation attracts over 3000 students as Induze tech foundation unveils innovation center

The Induze Tech Foundation has successfully concluded the Tech Bridge Exhibition, a large-scale digital education and innovation program designed to prepare secondary school students with practical digital skills, innovation capacity, and entrepreneurship competencies for the future economy.

The program, which was implemented in three phases — Training, Capstone Project Development, and Exhibition — engaged students from more than 42 secondary schools across the six Area Councils of the Federal Capital Territory, including AMAC, Bwari, Gwagwalada, Kuje, Abaji, and Kwali.

The initiative culminated in an exhibition that showcased over 50 student-led capstone projects developed to address real-world challenges through technology, creativity, and innovation.

The exhibition attracted over 3,000 students through a hybrid participation model, combining physical attendance and live participation, further demonstrating the growing importance of digital education and innovation within Nigeria’s education system.

Speaking during the exhibition, representatives of the Foundation emphasized that Tech Bridge was created to bridge the gap between traditional classroom learning and future workforce requirements by exposing students to practical digital experiences and innovation-driven learning.

A major highlight of the event was the official unveiling of the Induze Hub (iHub) — the Induze Tech Foundation Innovation Center located at Government Secondary School, Gwarimpa (Lifecamp), Abuja.
The Innovation Center is designed to serve as a multi-purpose digital learning ecosystem featuring:

• A Computer-Based Testing (CBT) Center
• Robotics and STEM Innovation Laboratory
• Teachers’ Co-Working and Professional Development Space
• Digital Content Creation Studio

The Center is expected to support schools in implementing Nigeria’s new digital technology curriculum while providing students and educators access to practical learning opportunities, innovation tools, and digital resources.
According to the Foundation, the Innovation Center represents more than infrastructure; it represents access, opportunity, and a commitment to preparing young Nigerians for the digital economy.

The unveiling ceremony was attended by key stakeholders from government institutions, education agencies, and development sectors including:
Ronnel Gambo Dolla, Deputy Director supervising the Gender Unit, Federal Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, representing the Honourable Minister; Hajia Fatima Gambo Bubba, Director/Secretary, FCT Secondary Education Board (SEB); Abubakar O. Ajayi, Principal, Government Secondary School, Gwarimpa (Lifecamp);
Dr. Sampson Ebimaro, Director, International Cooperation Department, Federal Ministry of Budget and National Planning; Akure B. Jerry, Administrative Officer II representing the Federal Ministry of Youth Development; Omotowa Victor Opeyemi and Ojukwu M. Michael from the Special Duties Department, Public-Private Partnership/Non-Governmental Unit, Federal Ministry of Education Headquarters; and Mrs. Nkwocha Angela from the Child Development Department, Federal Ministry of Women Affairs.

As the Foundation expands its impact, Induze Tech Foundation is seeking partnerships from government agencies, development organizations, private sector stakeholders, philanthropists, and education partners to strengthen and scale the newly unveiled Innovation Center.

The Foundation believes collaborative investment in education technology and innovation infrastructure is critical to ensuring that young Nigerians are equipped with the skills, creativity, and opportunities necessary to thrive in an increasingly digital future.

“Technology education is no longer optional. It is essential. By investing in young people today, we are building the innovators, creators, and problem-solvers of tomorrow.”
