Tek Experts recently played host to Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos State to discuss the role of government in growing local talents in Nigeria.
At the meeting, the Lagos State Governor noted that technology and innovation are critical components of his administration’s T.H.E.M.E.S agenda, the framework for policy and project implementation. “With Tek Experts’ outlook, there may be grounds for solid partnership in the relevant areas of our policy agenda”, said the Governor.
