Participation in 3D Printer and Design Program.

From March 6th to 10th, 2023. I had the privilege of representing Yobe State in an exceptional program organized by Woodlab and Devlap in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian and Disaster Management, powered by JICA. The program focused on 3D printing, design, and robotics and took place at Woodlab in Abuja.

Overview of the Program

The program was a collaborative initiative aimed at enhancing technological skills and innovation in the field of 3D printing, design, and robotics. It brought together representatives from the northeast region of Nigeria, including Borno, Adamawa, Yobe, Gombe, Bauchi, and Taraba. Each state was represented by a single participant, and I had the honor of representing Yobe State.

Distinguished Guests and Speakers

The program was graced by the presence of distinguished guests, including an Ambassador of Japan and the Permanent Secretary for the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian and Disaster Management. Their participation highlighted the importance and significance of the program in promoting technological advancement and disaster management solutions in the region.

Program Highlights

3D Printing and Design Workshops
