FG, Oyo Lawmaker Empowers 210 Youths With Digital Skills, Laptops
The Federal Government of Nigeria, in collaboration with a lawmaker from Oyo State, has empowered 210 youths through a digital skills training initiative, alongside the distribution of laptops to participants.
The programme is aimed at equipping young Nigerians with practical knowledge in technology, preparing them for opportunities in the fast-growing digital economy. Beneficiaries received training in areas such as basic computing, digital tools, and skills relevant to remote work and entrepreneurship.
Organizers noted that the initiative is part of broader efforts to tackle youth unemployment and promote innovation across the country. By providing both training and devices, the programme seeks to bridge the digital divide and create pathways for self-reliance.
Participants expressed gratitude for the opportunity, describing it as a stepping stone toward building careers in technology and improving their livelihoods.
Stakeholders have emphasized the importance of sustained investment in digital education, especially as the global economy continues to shift toward tech-driven solutions.
As more initiatives like this emerge, they are expected to play a vital role in shaping the future workforce and empowering the next generation in Nigeria.
