Experts in the various fields of technological space, on Thursday, 19th January, urged participants of FASA-LASU Arts In Tech to take advantage of technology in order to strategize and advance their relevance beyond the four walls of the university.

While speaking during the event tagged “Tech, The Next Oil Money For Smart Students”, the keynote speaker who is also a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Theater Arts, Prof. Tunji Azeez, charged the students to embrace technology as a tool to leverage humanity's growth.
While highlighting the major relevance of Arts studies in technology invention, Prof. Azeez tasked the students to be technologically inclined beyond social media, saying; “ Don't be limited by what you are studying. What you are studying should open your mind to see the problems and possibilities that align within that problem.”
Other guest speakers who also spoke and explicitly explained the impact of Arts in technological space include: Moyosoresoluwa Elesho-Otefia, Adeyemi Fakorede, and Oluwaseun Dabiri.
It was reported that Comrade EriiiofLAGOS noted that the programme was initiated in order to properly orientate the students and establish an interactional relationship between “the students and the mainstream public.”
Comrade EriiiofLAGOS, who described the event as an educational summit rather than the conventional academic summit, revealed that leaders of the union are in talks with the Jobberman firm for a free soft skill training program for several students in the Faculty of Arts.
Similarly, Comrade Eternel-Pelumi Badamassi noted the motive of the event was to empower students with power of knowledge of technology and being able to apply the knowledge in their academics and other areas. The Vice-president added the Arts In Tech would help the students to have a glimpse of life after school.
