The acronym ‘TEACH’ (Technology, Education, Agriculture, Communication, and Health) deeply emphasizes how DDU will leverage technology to drive development, progress, and inclusivity among members by birth, relationships, marriage, etc., making DDU a global community with a unique interest in prosperity. Education will be pivotal in driving wealth, businesses, recognition, and global competitiveness among youths and professionals in every endeavor. The arable lands will be converted to Agric business hubs, churning out local productions that will be competitive in urban and international markets. This will create an enabling environment with ease of doing business, creating jobs, and prosperity for our people. There will be enhanced communication strategies and infrastructures that will connect the DDU ecosystem and community, thereby enhancing collaboration, promoting local content, and networking.
Investments will be made to improve the healthcare system to promote healthy living through the provision of amenities, infrastructure, and human capacity-based health support systems for the old and the young alike, with no gender bias. Health is wealth, as the saying goes. With all these and more in place, I believe the people will be happy, socio-cultural norms, and security will naturally thrive. There’s another saying that goes ‘the people rejoice when the righteous ruleth.’
Lets reminisce on the just concluded harmonious celebration of the Borolegbe festival. I believe it was born out of the recent peaceful reunion and engagements. Let’s do more and be determined with the quest for development and unity; every other thing will fall into place. Remember the broom mantra… ‘a single broom is easily broken but a bunch is hard to break’. This will uphold our collective strength among other weaknesses.
These and more were my take-homes from our last meeting.
