His Majesty had introduced the technologically based challenge to encourage and provide an opportunity to youths in the Kingdom to develop an inventive culture.
The hunt for brilliant talented IT youths is targeted at those between the ages of 18 and 35 years to participate in the Olu of Warri Tech challenges with a passion for technological innovation and state –of – art digital solutions.
Ogiame Atuwatse III whose life and influence since the ascension to the throne of his ancestors is about impacting the lives of males and females both young and old in the Warri Kingdom can be likened to the famous inaugural speech by the late former American President, John F Kennedy who said that “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” These words defined Olu of Warri for one year on the exalted throne of the Warri Kingdom.
