Osinbajo spoke at a virtual interactive dialogue themed “EdTech for Transforming Education in Nigeria,” the first public event of ‘Future Perspectives’ co-founded by him.
The virtual dialogue was a collaboration between Future Perspectives (an initiative of the former Vice President and some of his young partners) and UNESCO International Institute for Higher Education in Latin America and the Caribbean (IESALC) to support the capacity-building component of the United Nations Global Youth Initiative in equipping young people with necessary skills for transformative education.Information Guide Nigeria

Six youth education innovators and stakeholders from different backgrounds and levels of engagement in EdTech, including practitioners, creators, advocates, and policymakers were members of the virtual panel discussion that explored the challenges faced within the Nigerian educational ecosystem. Speakers indicated some of the solutions they have applied to scale up their innovations.
While giving the keynote remark, Prof. Osinbajo noted that “if there was a single issue that could address problems of poverty, joblessness, inequality, and even better health outcomes, especially in developing countries today, it would most likely be education.”
He explained that at Future Perspectives, education is the “cornerstone of our organisation’s work, as we recognise its profound impact on social change and youth empowerment.
“Our mission aligns perfectly with the aspirations of the high-level UN Transforming Education Summit, a crucial global summit held in September last year, which responded urgently to the global education crises and placed education at the forefront of the global agenda.”
Acknowledging the important role young people play across the world, the former VP made the point that “no matter the resources available or the great ideas we have, very little of the change we desire can be accomplished without young people stepping up to their roles as catalysts and innovators of change.NYSC Portal
“This is why Future Perspectives, the organisation itself, is established to drive transformative change in Africa, through the power and potential of the African Youth.”
