The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) and the MTN Foundation have reaffirmed their commitment to expanding digital literacy initiatives in Nigeria.
This renewed partnership aims to equip Nigerians with essential digital skills, enabling them to thrive in a technology-driven economy.
During a recent courtesy visit to NITDA’s headquarters, MTN Foundation’s Executive Director, Odunayo Sanya, met with NITDA’s Director General, Kashifu Inuwa, to explore collaboration opportunities.
Sanya highlighted the Foundation’s Digital Skills for Digital Jobs programme, a multinational initiative aligned with Nigeria’s development priorities and the African Union’s Agenda 2063.
In response, Inuwa reiterated NITDA’s dedication to fostering digital inclusion, noting that the initiative aligns with the National Digital Literacy Framework.
He also outlined NITDA’s existing collaborations with key stakeholders, including the Ministry of Education, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Cisco, and Coursera, under the Digital Literacy for All (DL4All) initiative.
This partnership is expected to bridge the digital divide and empower Nigerians with critical skills to participate in the evolving global economy.
Recall that NITDA recently collaborated with JICA to empower 90 female entrepreneurs.
