  1. I am an Information Technology enthusiast with an educational background in computer science.
    I love technology and love to teach as well as to continuously learn it.
    My love for technology lead me to teaching and setting up a technology firm with a registered company name in Abuja Nigeria.
    Some of the challenges associated with IT set ups are start-up founds and low skilled based professional.
    My intention for this application is to get the start up found and use it to explore opportunities to improve and expand my young IT company to provide a medium for professional skilled training for upcoming you IT enthusiast like me and to promote tech ideas and application. This are my intention for this application if granted the start-up founds.
