On Saturday, September 13, 2025, the Rivers 2050 Vision Project hosted a Key Informant Interview with Mr. Ibifuro Asawo, CEO of Cinfores Limited, to discuss the future of technology in Rivers State.

The session highlighted the immense opportunities that technology presents for Rivers State, from digital education and skills development to innovation ecosystems and tech-driven governance. Mr. Asawo shared his perspective on how Rivers can prepare its young population to thrive in the global digital economy and how technology can be leveraged to tackle challenges in sectors such as education, health, and governance.

As Rivers 2050 envisions a future that prioritizes education, employment, energy, and economic diversification, technology emerges as a powerful enabler that cuts across all four pillars.

This conversation is part of the Rivers 2050 Vision Project, convened by Policy Shapers, which brings together citizens, thought leaders, and experts to shape a long-term vision for Rivers State.
