Stakeholders across Nigeria’s education, communication, and youth development sectors have lauded the chief executive officer of New Horizons Technologies, Tim Akano, for his contributions to digital transformation and human capital development in the country.
Akano, a renowned Pan-African thought leader and technology advocate, was recently honoured by multiple prestigious institutions including the Committee of Pro-Chancellors (CPC) of Nigerian Federal Universities, the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), Rotary International, Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) Governing Council, and the Osun State Ministry of Youth Development. Each organisation recognised his efforts in promoting innovation, artificial intelligence, and youth empowerment as drivers of sustainable national development.
His lecture, at the 38th Anniversary of the Rotary Club of Ikeja South, that focused on practical skill acquisition and visionary leadership, earned him a heartfelt award of appreciation from the club. Rotary leaders praised his message as timely and transformational for Nigeria’s youth.
Similarly, the Committee of Pro-Chancellors of Nigerian Federal Universities also honoured Akano, by presenting him with a special award for his remarkable contribution to their Knowledge Sharing Program. His lecture on “Exploring Institutional Growth Opportunities Through Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence” sparked a fresh wave of insight among academic leaders and reaffirmed his role as a catalyst for educational reform.
Also, the NIPR conferred on him the distinguished title of Fellow, thereby officially recognizing his consistent impact in advancing public discourse and national development. Further, he was a guest speaker at the Obafemi Awololo University Governing Council and Management retreat at Ede, where he delivered a paper on Exploring Big Data, Analytics and Artificial intelligence for Institutional Growth.

Crowning these achievements, on the same day in Osogbo, the Osun State through the Ministry of Youth Development decorated Akano as Osun State Ambassador for Youth Empowerment.
