Itโs not in contention that drone technology is the new frontier of socio-economic development not only in Africa but globally. Hence, our office freely trained and distributed 80 drones to individuals and learning institutions thereby raising Nigeriaโs standard as an African leader in innovative capacity-building technologiesโ.
Typically used for photography, videography, so we educated participants in a range of expansive ways drones can be deployed such as the construction, oil & gas, agriculture, delivery services, environmental monitoring, geographically mapping, telecommunications etc.
For the love of education, our office extended a participatory invitation to departments of Geology and Environmental Science of the following 10 tertiary institutions nationwide and they were given a drone each ๐
1 Federal College of Education, Okene
2 Confluence University of Science and Technology, Osara (Absent)
3 Kogi State University, Anyigba
4 Federal University, Lokoja
5 Federal Polytechnic, Idah
6 Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja (Absent)
7 University of Ilorin
8 Bayero University, Kano
9 Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria
10 Federal University of Science and Technology, Minna.
We also had beneficiaries from Zamfara, Ondo, Oyo, Delta, Borno, Cross River, Edo, Abia, Imo and Akwa Ibom states.
Note that the drones are in compliance with the NCAA regulations. All are sub-250g each.
Furthermore , our programs werenโt limited to drone technology trainings alone. In summary, 250 persons and institutions were empowered along the following spread:
80 DJI Drones for technology initiatives
