Truths and Deeds!

The training models at Learning Point and TBA have always dealt with digital solutions, automation, and open source systems. Sessions have covered skill-sets and the 4th industrial revolution. We had anticipated that between 2015 and 2025 a significant shift in workforce mobilization would have occurred. What the Covid-19 era has done is put the pressure on people to innovate halfway through. The idea of remote work, virtual meetings, exhibition, and learning has caught on in all industries; with companies and institutions leading the charge. Principal Officers have realized the need to build great online platforms for their organizations, businesses, and schools. This has potentially increased web visibility and traffic. Those with existing set-ups have latched on to get work done from home. Previously, working from home had been grossly undervalued. Of course, computational skills are required to work with any digital platform or interactive interface, and the motivati

The need to evolve in today’s skill-based world is a continuous process; as such people must slip into as many roles as possible and take advantage of the hands-on support and open-source platforms that are placing a premium on new responsibilities. Until recently, my writing has been tied mostly to business ideation, narratives, and commentaries. Now, however, that role has expanded into a more technical field dealing with scripting, sequencing, and content formatting for video and virtual projects. As the Team lead for developing the  Tech-Bridges Associates’  SeeDoo TV Travel Guide; a mini-docu series and a virtual based project, I had the opportunity to latch on to technical writing and build relevant competency in the field. Three years prior (2017), I made my entry debut in the field of Robotics; working with RoboRAVE International through the country’s directorate,  RoboRAVE Nigeria  (with support from the U.S Consulate, Lagos) as a Certified Training Facilitator to

Many have been moved to wonder why Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases are still relatively low in Africa. Of the 54 African countries, over 432 cases have been reported in 35 countries as of 20 th March 2020. We are still in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic and many more cases are being anticipated within the coming weeks, however, there are factors that may have been responsible for the low number of reported cases in Africa including ineffective border screening and travel restrictions, local climate effects, a lack of screening or a lack of adequate reporting. The fear here is that many of us are not confident with the measures in place to fight the pandemic in most African countries in the event of a higher number of cases. The expectation is that African governments must act quickly; impose travel restrictions and beef up accessible COVID-19 Screening, Quarantine and Treatment Centres across cities. The public also has a huge part to play because precautionary measu
