A hybrid multi level marketing company in Lagos, has called on the Federal Government to incorporate tech studies in primary education in the country, citing the benefits, trends and huge potential in the global tech space.

The Chief Executive Officer of Richlance International, Engr Faithful Samuel, made the call during an interview at the official launch and award ceremony of the company held in Ikeja, Lagos.

He also urged the government to invest in digital technology and in youth with innovative ideas.

He said, “My suggestion and advice is that government should adopt tech curriculum for our primary schools up to our secondary schools. We should do away with some of the things we have currently in their curriculum let our children start learning about tech from primary school to secondary school because tech has taken over the world as it is now.

“It is just like what is happening here in Richlance. What we are doing is such that with your smart phone you an become a shareholder in more than one thousand different companys. At a time when some companies are packing up and leaving the country we are setting up shop and we are here to stay because we are not depending on one source of income. We have over one thousand plus digital services people can make use of on our platform right from the comfort of their home.

“Government should invest more in digital technology and support youths with innovative ideas. Though I’m not holding brief for or condoning the ways of some of our youths who engage in cyber crime, but I believe government can either eradicate or greatly reduced their number by investing more in digital technology and providing support for youths with creative and innovative ideas. Sooner than later the positive results from this support would become clear and the world would stand still for Nigeria.”

The event which was graced by the presence of dignitaries from government and private sectors, also had celebrity comedians present to add color to the occasion. A total of 28 cars were given to top promoters of the company at the event.

A beneficiary of the car award, Mr Wisdom Benson said “Richlance international has given out twenty eight cars. And I am a recipient of one of them. I qualified for the car award after about one month of vigorously promoting the company. Richlance is poised to empower people with good health and wealth.”

He expressed excitement over the award and explained that unlike some other company is here to stay as they over a wide range of products that are in high demand and provide solution to health problems and digital payment solutions.
