Technology experts on Monday urged professionals to leverage the numerous local opportunities available in the technology industry.
The experts highlighted the increasing global demand for Nigerian talents during the third Anniversary of Zulfah Academy in Lagos.
Abayomi Ajao, Chief Executive Officer, Zulfah Academy, said the belief that success in technology was only attainable abroad was false, noting that with the right skills and mindset, professionals could thrive locally.
Ajao stressed the importance of problem-solving skills and dynamic approach to technology, urging developers to focus on creating solutions to local challenges.

Similarly, Christianah Ogunleye, a participant in Zulfah Academy’s training, commended the organisers, adding that the programme enhanced her knowledge about technology and its numerous opportunities.
