CHILDREN ICT SUMMIT
Children ICT Summit (CITS: e-Innovate Nigeria)
CITS a.k.a. E-Innovate Nigeria is a yearly seminar and capacity building for students and teachers from primary and secondary schools in Nigeria.
Children Seminars had since started since the inception of the High Tech Centre at Ile-ife, Osun State Nigeria as a motivation for schools to start ICT Clubs for pupils and students in order to encourage career development in Science & Technology courses especially computer Science.
