 Dizengoff Offered equipment worth $60,000 to University Of lagos

Equipment manufacturing giant, Dizengoff, has donated to the University of Lagos machinery worth 60,000 U.S. dollars in an attempt to increase entrepreneurship and innovation among learners.

Mr Kai Wulff, the organization's consultant who introduced the equipment to the university, said the equipment would be used to train students and provide solutions to the many problems facing Nigeria.

"We're here to kick-start a fruitful and rewarding relationship with Lagos University because we're pleased with the amount of business job going on here.

"What we donated here is completely communication network equipment, communication network solutions parts," he said.
Wulff said the attempts of the university in entrepreneurship showed that there would begin from there many more inventions.

"That's why we took it upon ourselves by donating $60,000 worth of facilities to further allow the learners.

"The equipment itself, the radio, the controllers, the trackers and the software can basically be taught and played individually, but it can also be a proof of concept that universities can design a network and test it to the real world if it works.

"We want to see how these tools can further improve hands-on experience, particularly in the communication and technology field," he said.
The advisor said the firm would like to have a closer relationship with the university.

"We want to be part of it the (college) with our software development skills, our integration capacities, intelligent decision making and cyber securities," he said.

He added the company's desire to be part of the curriculum of Nigeria.

According to him, describing Nigeria's curriculum as outdated is a incorrect judgment.
"I hear individuals often say that the curriculum is outdated. I beg to be distinct because, in the true sense, companies should play their part in seeking methods to assist these learners with 21st century requirements in their respective fields by going to these universities.

"Remember that these learners are future experts that will drive the economy tomorrow; so it is up to us to actively contribute to their growth," said Wulff.

The technology specialist said that universities have processed the expertise and equipment required to expand domestic growth and development boundaries and therefore need to be helped as they would benefit the sectors.
"If, for example, I allow this Unilag, it will, in turn, allow many young Nigerians, and sooner or later, the economy of the country will be lifted.

"Our technicians will be on hand 24 hours a day to make the needed services as we look forward to generating more communications technology engineers, while we will be following up on safety technology, cyber security technology," he said.

He defined that gift as heartwarming, stating that the institution would quickly be Africa's hub for technological development with the multiple entrepreneurial operations taking place at the college.

The don added that in the fields of research and development, cyber security and other appropriate fields, the university was set to engage in more cooperation with the organization.

"I'm going to say that this is another breakthrough as the gesture aligns with the vision we've got, which I understand the learners will greatly profit from.
"The partnership will further advance our dreams of turning this university into a hub for entrepreneurship, innovation and technology on the continent, particularly through what our learners are doing there, both locally and abroad," he said.
