That is very cool, iBaba!
Your name may have just been written down as a major character in the Nigerian history of Bitcoin. And for quite the impressive feat, as well! Governments usually do not want to hear about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency. They turn it down, out of ignorance. But sooner or later the smarter ones will come out on top and lead their individual countries toward a happy future with Bitcoin as the global money.
+5 Merits!

This is impressive move ops, pushing for Bitcoin adoption by government is one fight that needs all the encouragement and seeing that you went as far as booking an appointment with the governor is an awesome move.
I can see that is easy to access government officials in your region and I encourage you to take out the time to properly educate the governor on the importance of allowing Bitcoin as an alternative.

Why cover the face of the Governor if the information is already public knowledge and you’re still going cite the source where you got the photo from? I’m from Nigeria and I know how difficult it is as a constituent to meet with our representatives in government, much more a Governor of a state. It makes me wonder on what capacity did you visit the Governor? Are you also a politician or just a concerned citizen with a vision for the state. If it’s the later, I doubt your story because I know my country.

A child in Secondary school is more than qualified to have some information about bitcoins. It can really help them to make decisions earlier. If the state has a young governor who understands the benefits that the knowledge of bitcoins and cryptocurrency will have on the children of the state will not delay in accepting this proposal to have it introduced to secondary school students. I really like it. When I joined this forum, I was inspired to make promotional stickers for bitcoin, it helped a lot of people, this your initiative and plan will help a lot more people and a good thing is that it is from an early age.

Niger State where I come from, one of Nigeria's nineteen northern states and known for its vast landmass, is not isolated from the challenges facing the region.
According to statistics, the unemployment rate in Nigeria is on the rise as shown in the statistical diagram below. The northern part of Nigeria also contribute to the rate of unemployment and a significant lack of skills among young people.

Following the 2023 general elections, Niger State formed a new government with a clear agenda and manifesto to promote and support technology hubs across the state. This commitment was later extended to encompass the financial technology (Fintech) sector.

Since I joined this forum, I have been encouraged to take the knowledge I have gathered over here and in life to my people especially to my younger ones back home having recognized the global adoption of Bitcoin technology, I took the initiative to propose to the state Governor the introduction of Bitcoin technology into our secondary school system as a core entrepreneurship subject.
By introducing Bitcoin technology, it will benefit our students in so many ways. Firstly, it will equips them with essential skills for the future. In an increasingly digital world, understanding cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology is becoming crucial. If the government can implement my initiative of providing this knowledge at the secondary school level, we will empower our students to be more competitive and prepared for the evolving market.
Submission of Proposal Letter and My Visit to the Governor's Office
On September 12, 2023, at around 11 AM, I submitted my letter of proposal to the Governor and with the help of the Chief of Staff and through our cordial relationship, we were invited to meet with the Governor on September 13, 2023.
The images above shows the written proposed letter, when it was submitted and the final acknowledge copy.
The Governor's Commendation
Yesterday being the September 13, 2023, I had the privilege of meeting with the Governor himself. During my meeting with His Excellency, the Governor expressed keen interest in my innovative idea and commended my efforts. He called it a laudable effort that will bring about a monumental technological advancement to the state.
He assured me that he would consider my proposal and pledged to include technological advancements like this in his future policies. As a sign of his support and encouragement, the Governor extended an executive handshake.
Taking Executive handshake with my State Governor
My plan on how to make this a reality should the governor gives a call back for implementation
1. We would organize a retreat with the relevant government and non governmental stakeholders
Aim: To enlighten the governor and other stakeholders on the fundamental knowledge they need to know about the Bitcoin technology.
Process: We will invite Bitcoin experts within and outside the state to attend this retreat programme as panelists as we pick and discuss the relevant topics.
2. Upon the success of the retreat programme, we will organize a Train-the-Trainer bootcamp programme.
Aim: From the independent research I've been able to gather that there are about 500 secondary schools in Niger state. To get at least 2 teachers per school trained on how the Bitcoin technology operate wherein the secondary school teachers captured to carry out the trade subject across various schools will be trained on the basic knowledge of the Bitcoin technology. This is similar to the CISCO Networking Academy Program implemented in various unity schools.
Process: Invite resource persons to the state to train the trainers who are in turn the teachers that will go into the classes.
These are the plans i have mapped out should the governor gives a call back for implementation. I am open to more suggestions on this forum to commiserates my ideas in actualizing this.
In conclusion, my proposal to integrate Bitcoin technology into secondary school education in Niger State has received a positive response from the state government.
I am optimistic that this initiative will not only provide valuable skills to our youth but also contribute to the broader goal of promoting technology and entrepreneurship in our region. As I eagerly await further developments, I remain committed to working towards a brighter and more technologically advanced future for my state and my country at large.
