Abstract

This research tried to understand how different kinds of technology can help us secured our country for the future. The study gathered information from various books and articles written by different authors about how technology innovation and sustainable development. The study also used a theory called Roger’s diffusion innovation to guide the research. The population studied is made up of all the students who are in their second year of the National Diploma program in the School of Business and Management Studies at Federal Polytechnic Offa, located in Kwara State. Survey research was used for the study. A sample of 168 respondents was chosen for the study using Taro Yamane formula to determine the sample size. This group was selected from a larger population of 290 people. The study used a statistical method called Statistical Package for Social Sciences and a test called ANOVA to analyze the data. The study found two important factors for technological innovation that contribute to sustainable development. The results show that technology helps with sustainable development in different ways. However, we don't really know how much it directly helps sustainable development. We can look into this more to find out the truth. So, we need everyone's help to make good policies on innovation and make sure they actually happen to support the economy. The research suggests that the Nigerian government should focus on developing new technologies in our country to improve our society. Additionally, the research suggests that people in charge of making decisions should allocate resources and make an effort to encourage new ideas and inventions in order to make people's lives better. This can be achieved by creating jobs, reducing poverty, improving the way people live, and helping businesses grow and succeed, all of which will have a positive impact on the economy.
