DS Innovation Hub to Honour Ibru, Shittu Others

DS-Innovation Hub (DS-IHUB) is set to step out in style with a proof of concept and bold statements on Innovation and Entrepreneurship. By extension it has simultaneously raised the technology and creativity bar with the establishment and activation of Technology Innovation Hall of Fame to honour very distinguished and visionary personalities in the nation’s knowledge space.

As the State rolls out the drums to jumpstart her innovation adventure project, top of the pack of the honours roll are: Late Alex Ibru – Former Publisher of The Guardian (Posthumous), Barrister Adebayo Shittu – the Honourable Minister of Communication, Sir, Jim Ovia, Chairman of Zenith Bank, Dr. Ernest Ndukwe – Chairman of Open Media, Ms Funke Opeke, CEO of Mainone, Prof. Patrick Utomi, founder of CVL and Sir, Alfred Okoigun of ACRO Petrochemical Engineering Company Plc.

The above constitute the pioneer members whose name will be enshrined into the annals of history of Innovation Hall of Fame.

They will all be inducted into the Technology Innovation Hall of Fame – with ‘Life-Time Achievement Award’ – “In recognition and appreciation of over two decades of distinguished and innovative leadership, unmatched professional commitment and inspirational contributions in Science, Technology & Innovation for humanity”.

The DS-Innovation Hub is a disruptive technology platform for re-engineering the blueprint for smarter processes, more effective leadership and governance for inclusive public service.

The Hub will provide expertise on Science, Technology & Innovation (STI), Information and Communications Technology (ICT) policy roadmap and implementation strategy advice on new processes and emerging approaches to conceptualization, application and usage of Information and Communications Technology to respond to challenges and drive innovative solutions at all levels of engagement.
