The candidate of the Labour Party in the February 25 presidential election, Mr. Peter Obi has celebrated 13-year-old Nigerian programmer, Joshua Agboola, for emerging as the youngest Certified Amazon Web Services (AWS) Developer Associate in Africa.
Master Agboola achieved the feat after a gruelling two-hour examination that tested his skills and knowledge in deploying, troubleshooting, and development on the AWS cloud platform.
Cloud services are infrastructure, platforms, or software that are hosted by third-party providers and made available to users through the internet.
Obi in a tweet via his verified account, said the young Agboola’s achievement is a reminder of the “immeasurable roles that education plays in the life of every child,” adding that “his success story should also inspire our youths to strive hard to develop their skills and seek to always become better in their fields through continuous learning and improvement.”
Peter Obi’s words:
The story of a 13-year-old Nigerian programmer, Joshua Agboola, who just emerged as the youngest Certified Amazon Web Services (AWS) Developer Associate in Africa, should gladden the hearts of most patriotic Nigerians.
This achievement reminds us of the immeasurable roles that education plays in the life of every child. His success story should also inspire our youths to strive hard to develop their skills and seek to always become better in their fields through continuous learning and improvement.
There is far more honour in the success achieved by utilising talents positively. If leadership inspires hope through competence and transparency with productivity as key goals, our leaders of tomorrow will be directed towards making positive use of their talents instead of diverting efforts to criminality.
Moreover, the recent strides of our youths in the areas of Information Technology indicate that we as a people are ready to partake in the benefits of modern technology.
Dear Joshua, I celebrate you today for your outstanding achievement. You have made a name for yourself and our nation. I urge you to remain focused on building a great future for yourself and a better society for all. -PO
