Katsina Technology Sector

I woke up with this title in mind. With three Universities in Katsina, A Polytechnic and many higher institutions, I use to wonder if at all we are going to have a Breakthrough in Technology, this is the time. I support my discussion with the following Points:
To have a tech incubator or Technology boom in a city/state, location of Educational instutitions is important, In Katsina, We have two universities (UMYU and Katsina University) and a polytechnic located all along the Dutsinma Road. Collaboration between the Institutions what will make Katsina State a Technology hub in the region.

In Katsina Today, we have alot of People with the knowledge of computer applications, it is time we start using the knowledge to solve some of our societies problems. I believe if we can give more emphasis on Technology and Innovation, its only a matter of Time before we start to see Tech Companies coming to Katsina to set a base. All the above mentioned Institutions do offer Diploma and Degree program in Computer Science, it is time we start applying the knowledge we obtained from Higher institution into a money making venture.

All this cannot be possible without the support of the Government, Schools, Businessmen and Indigenes. we cannot achieve this overnight, but when all the institutions start making a move, others will follow, Personally, I suggest for a start each Institution start an entrepreneurship club and from there, students will know what it means to be entrepreneurs and maybe, a monthly talk will be held where an Invited speaker will deliver lecture on HOW to become a successful entrepreneur. Joint meetings between institutions will also establish collaboration between institutions on Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
