Consequently, Adeyanju shared his practical insights on how to utilize phones for remote work, enabling youths to explore flexible and innovative ways to earn a living.

A press release sent to TMS news and signed by Special Assistant to the Executive Secretary (Media & Corporate Communications) Arowolo Solomon Alaba, Adeyanju was quoted as cautioning against the misuse of the digital space, particularly in spreading fake news and promoting disunity. “Let us use the digital space responsibly and avoid spreading false information that can harm our country and its people.”
He identified various academic courses that can benefit youths and announced a partnership between the National Lottery Trust Fund and the event organizers to support those without technical expertise.
He encouraged Nigerian youths to harness the digital space for unity, growth, and national development.
