The Foundation’s Managing Director Ade Olowojoba, on Friday, emphasised the empowerment significance, stating, “In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, essential technology skills are not just an advantage; they’re a necessity. Nigeria’s youth are at the forefront of our nation’s digital future, and through DigiGap 2.0, we’ve equipped them with the knowledge and skills needed to ignite a wave of innovation and economic empowerment, shaping a brighter, more digitally inclusive future for Nigeria.”
He added that participants embarked on an intensive four-week training program, delving deeper into their chosen tracks to cultivate practical skills and excel in their respective fields.
“Nigeria’s digital landscape has undergone a remarkable transformation, with the global economy embracing technology as a catalyst for growth. As the largest digital market in Africa and a hotspot for investment, Nigeria has the potential to significantly contribute to the digital economy,” Olowojoba added.
It added that the programme has been instrumental in equipping young Nigerians with the critical Information Communication Technology skills required to excel in this evolving digital ecosystem.
“This was achieved this through a comprehensive training curriculum and mentorship, offering practical knowledge in high-demand areas. By enhancing participants’ job readiness and employability, DigiGap 2.0 has played a pivotal role in bolstering the economic empowerment of Nigerian youth,” he expressed.
