BRIEF REMARKS BY HIS EXCELLENCY, PROF. YEMI OSINBAJO, SAN, GCON, IMMEDIATE PAST VICE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, AND GUARDIAN OF THE TIMBUKTOO AFRICAN INNOVATION FOUNDATION, ENCOURAGING YOUNG AFRICANS TO BE PART OF TIMBUKTOO AFRICA

So this is for young people all over Africa, Timbuktoo is yours! This is the largest single initiative to support innovation ecosystems all over Africa.

And the simple message is that innovation ecosystems refer to you as an individual. You are somewhere in Africa, innovating, thinking about how to solve some of the real problems of Africa, real problems of the world. And Timbuktoo is there to back you, to support you, to ensure that from ideation all the way to implementation, we’re there with you, with funding, with mentorship, with support.

So, we look forward to seeing you somewhere along the innovation line.

Thank you.
