Create your tomorrow now, Intel charges UNILAG students

Intel Create your tomorrow now

Intel Corporation last week charged the University of Lagos, UNILAG students to learn how to create their tomorrow, today by adopting the usage of computer technology in every aspect of their academic and social activities.

The chip technology manufacturer, challenged the students as it took its youth market based campaign, ‘Create Your Tomorrow’ project to the institution at the weekend.

The campaign seeks to help the target market especially the new generation of tech-savvy students currently in, and entering institutions of learning to unlock their innate potentials through the use of technology.

The Create Your Tomorrow Campaign also seeks to push information technology as a tool that can be used as an asset, rather than as an obstacle to achieving its intended purpose.

Intel believes that when the usage of PC Technology is deepened among students, it would result into tremendous enhancement of quality of life and living in the society. The company’s Country Manager, Mr Olubunmi Ekundare, said his company designed the campaign to reinforce commitment as sponsors of tomorrow.

He also contended that the initiative would mark Intel out as having exposed the potentials of technology in Nigeria and in Africa as a whole

For him,” today’s students possess unprecedented levels of skill with information technology; they think about and use technology very differently from students of the past era. They love teamwork, experiential activities and the use of technology.” He said.

Ekundare added that “for us at Intel, championing the cause of technology in Nigeria, Africa and the world is at the heart of our business and this has informed our engagements from inception till date. Intel, more than being interested in propagating the gospel of technology, is interested in the quality it brings to life if properly employed. The campaign will therefore focus on the use of the several unknown benefits that technology provides.”

Activities to mark the Create Your Future campaign included  one-day forum on the campus of the University of Lagos as well as entertaining interactive sessions with Nigerian pop-star, Banky W.

Intel also sponsored three-day internationally certified Technology and Entrepreneurship Training and participants awarded international certification upon successful completion.

The campaign also offered discounts on PC purchases from Intel-powered PC retailers, free HP printers with every HP PC purchase, shopping vouchers, educational and empowerment initiatives, as well as raffle draws.
