Solution Innovation District (SID) and Circum Technologies Join Forces to Power the Next Generation of Robotic Engineers<\/p>

Awka, Nigeria \u2014 July 1, 2025<\/p>

In a bold step to strengthen Anambra’s position as Nigeria\u2019s emerging tech powerhouse, the Solution Innovation District (SID), in collaboration with Circum Technologies, has launched a dynamic Robotics Training Programme aimed at empowering young people across the state with essential 21st-century skills in robotics and automation.<\/p>

The training kicked off with a vibrant opening ceremony at SID headquarters in Awka, drawing key government officials and innovation leaders, including:<\/p>

  • Ms. Chinwe Okoli, Special Adviser to the Governor on Innovation and Business Incubation<\/li>
  • Dr. Law Mefor, Commissioner for Information\u00a0<\/li>
  • Mr. Christian C. Udechukwu, Commissioner for Industry<\/li>
  • Mr. Sylvester Uzoama, CEO of Circum Technologies<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    In her opening remarks, Ms. Okoli noted that the programme reflects Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo\u2019s digital transformation vision for Anambra, to make the state the digital and creative capital of Nigeria.<\/p>

    \u00a0\u201cThrough SID, we are raising a generation of digital creators, inventors, and problem solvers who will drive Anambra\u2019s industrial and technological future,\u201d she said.<\/p>

    The fully sponsored training is designed to be immersive and hands-on. Participants will not only learn the theory behind robotics but also design, build, and program working robots,\u00a0 applying their knowledge in real time.<\/p>

    Commissioner Udechukwu encouraged participants to turn their skills into businesses, assuring them of access to startup funding through the Anambra State Business Agency (ASBA):<\/p>

    “Tech is the new oil. If you\u2019ve got an idea, we\u2019ll help you build a business around it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Adding to the excitement, Circum Technologies announced that the top two participants will receive a free laptop and drone, rewarding excellence and fueling motivation.<\/p>

    \u201cWe\u2019re not just building robots, we\u2019re building dreams,\u201d said Circum CEO Mr. Uzoama. \u201cCircum is proud to invest in the talents shaping Africa\u2019s future.\u201d<\/p>

    The initiative sits at the heart of the Soludo Solution Agenda, which recognizes innovation as a critical engine for economic development, job creation, and global relevance.<\/p>
