Group trains 50 youths on smart automation, solar technology

As part of efforts to strengthen the Yoruba race by ensuring that youths in the region can stand on their feet and hold their ground among their peers, a group of young entrepreneurs under the aegis of Yoruba Professionals Foundation (YPF), commenced an etymology of industrial revival as a new reality in its advocacy for development of Yoruba land by training 50 Yoruba youths on smart automations, solar technology in collaboration with another group, Ilana Omo Oodua

To YPF, the struggle for liberation and development of Yorubaland, and by extension, Nigeria, can never be won without placing premium on knowledge-based entrepreneurship in terms of science, technology, research, agriculture and digital innovations.

The one-week training, with the theme: “Yoruba Nation: Building Expertise in Smart Automations and Solar Technology for Prosperity and Development,” featured smart home systems, motion detection solutions, instruction alarm system, automated entrance solutions, electronic fencing, fingerprint control/doors, solar technology, business development and customers service relations.

According to the organisers, the training received support from organisations such as The Elite Creative Solutions, Crystahills Technology Hub, WTL Technologies, Pentagon Movement Group (PMG), Yusop International Ltd, Inovics Digital, among others.

Speaking during the passing out and products exhibition by the beneficiaries of the training, Emeritus Professor of History and member of the Second Republic Senate, Adebanji Akintoye said a new reality had been introduced to the Yoruba struggle for liberation and development, adding that with the initiatives of YPF displayed before him by the maiden trainees, the panacea to slavery, joblessness and hopelessness among the younger generation of Yoruba people has been unravelled.

“This is my message to all Yoruba people. We have reached our destination. As long as I live, I will mobilise all passionate Yoruba leaders and successful entrepreneurs to sustain this initiative to bring the younger generation within our race out of hopelessness, joblessness, slavery. I was a youth when I wrote the manifesto of the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) ahead of the 1979 elections. I could achieve that because Chief Obafemi Awolowo believed in empowering the younger people. By the grace of God, I will support you all to fulfil your objectives and vision.” Akintoye declared.

During the exhibition moderated by the resource person and vice-president of YPF, Timilehin Sanwo, the trainees from Smart Automations Class displayed several IT security products to exhibit what they learned during the one week training to the applause of the guests.

Part of what they displayed was a spy wall clock which they programmed. The spy clock is used to monitor whatever that is going on internally without leaving the bedrooms and can be monitored from anywhere in the world as long as there’s internet facility on the phone connected to the wall clock through a mobile application. The clock contains a memory card which stores images and audio of whatever the clock picks and these are also stored on memory cards of attached phones. The spy wall clock is programmed to operate like a high tech security camera.

Another device exhibited was the 360 Eye Camera which can be used by nursing mothers who have kids under the age of 10 to watch over their children in their homes wherever they are in the world. Like the wall clock, the device contains a memory card and whatever is being monitored through the mobile application programmed with the device is also recorded in the memory card of the user’s phone.

A security gadget, global positioning solutions was also displayed.  It is used to wage war against kidnapping and can be inserted in a car or pocket of people travelling to dangerous routes to track movement of such persons through a cell phone connected with the device from anywhere in the world. It uses a SIM card, programmed with a mobile application to be downloaded. The device uses a battery that works for three months.

The trainees on solar technology moderated by their resource person and Director of Sciences and Innovations of YPF, Adeniyi Dada and the resource person for Customers Service Relation, Dr. Samuel Fasanmi, assembled solar and inverter panels and powered the venue of the event to the admiration of the audience.

Speaking during the exhibition, the founder and president of YPF, Mr. Maxwell Adeleye, said “We want to banish hunger, poverty and starvation out of our region. We want to raise a new generation of leaders that will use technology to wage war against insecurity in our region, create jobs and build wealth for the benefit of our people. We are building the intellectual wing of our struggle for development. We want to align with the wave of 21st century. First on the list the panaceas to development is technology, sciences and research. With the support of God and well-meaning Yoruba people, we shall keep the struggle alive and consistent.

“With what was displayed today, it has been proved that the cause of security quagmires in Nigeria is not inadequate security personnel but the failure of leadership to adequately deploy technology to tackle the menace.”
