What we must do now is to bridge that gap by creating an enabling environment where ideas are supported, talent is nurtured, and innovation is given the platform it needs to thrive\u201d.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n\u200e&#8221;In our universities, innovation hubs, and among our energetic youth, great ideas are being born every day. Still, many of these ideas do not become real-world solutions\u201d.<br \/>\n\u200e&#8221;This is not because the ideas are not good enough, but largely due to challenges common to emerging economies. Despite such limitations, Nigerian innovators still stand tall globally&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n\u200eShe advised Nigerians to bridge the gap of limitations by creating an enabling environment where ideas are supported, talent is nurtured, and innovation is given the platform it needs to thrive.<br \/>\n\u200eAccording to her, with the launch of \u201cEnergise Commercialisation Now\u201d, Nigeria will now pursue productivity, growth, and global leadership by effectively commercialising its vast research and innovation outputs across all sectors, regions, and demographics.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n\u200e&#8221;This means we are committed to transforming ideas into tangible economic value, driving enterprise, creating jobs, and growing our GDP.<br \/>\n\u200e&#8221;Today\u2019s gathering is a bold and necessary step in that direction. This programme, \u2018Energise Commercialisation Now\u2019 (ECoN) is a strategic Federal Government intervention that signals Nigeria\u2019s resolve to move beyond exporting raw potential to one that builds, funds, and scales up homegrown innovation for national development and global competitiveness\u201d.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n\u200e&#8221;I must also highlight the need to include everyone in this effort, especially women and young people. When new ideas grow in every part of society, we get more jobs, stronger families, and a more secure country\u201d.<br \/>\n\u200eThe First Lady, also applauded Dr Kingsley Tochukwu Udeh, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology for initiating the program.<br \/>\nThere were goodwill messages from the representative of the Ministry\u2019s private sector partners on ECoN, Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, Jigawa State Governor, Umar Namadi and Deputy Senate President, Senator Jibrin Barau.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\nTheir message bordered on the timeliness of the project and what it will do for the economic enhancement of the nation, providing youths and entrepreneurs opportunities on the global stage and the resoluteness of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu\u2019s to make the nation a key player in Science and Technology worldwide.<br \/>\n\u200eAs part of the push to enhance infrastructure across the nation,\u00a0 the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu joined the Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf to inaugurate the ongoing construction of a 118km, Senator Oluremi Tinubu road project in Kano city, with a 14-month delivery timeline set for April 2026.<br \/>\n\u200e<br \/>\n\u200e<br \/>\n\u200e<br \/>\n\u200e<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u200e \u200eThe First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinibu on Thursday in Kano,\u00a0 launched the North-west zone &#8220;Energise Commercialisation Now&#8221;
