The Director General of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Kashifu Inuwa, has led a high-level delegation to meet with the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Chris J. Maiyaki, in a pivotal move to accelerate Nigeria’s digital transformation. The meeting, which took place at the NUC headquarters, centered on fostering collaboration to integrate digital literacy into university curricula nationwide as part of the ambitious Digital4All initiative.

This engagement follows the recent kickoff ceremony of the Digital Literacy Program at Nassarawa State University, Keffi, marking a significant step in equipping Nigerian youths with critical digital skills.

Key Highlights

During the meeting, both leaders emphasized the importance of embedding digital literacy and skills as mandatory general courses across all Nigerian universities. This initiative aims to propel the country toward achieving 70% digital literacy by 2027 and position Nigeria as a global hub for talent export.

Speaking on the agency’s vision, Kashifu Inuwa highlighted that the initiative aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritizes talent development and the growth of Nigeria’s digital economy. “We are committed to equipping our youths with the skills they need to thrive in a technology-driven world. Our collaboration with the NUC is crucial to ensuring this vision becomes a reality,” Inuwa stated.

NUC’s Commitment to Collaboration

NUC Executive Secretary Chris J. Maiyaki expressed his support for the initiative, assuring NITDA of the Commission’s readiness to align with the Digital4All goals. “This is a timely and transformative step for Nigeria. We are eager to collaborate with NITDA to streamline the integration of digital literacy into our educational framework,” Maiyaki said.

He further acknowledged that equipping students with digital skills would not only enhance their employability but also drive innovation and economic growth in the country.

A New Era for Nigeria’s Digital Economy

The Digital Literacy Program, championed by NITDA, is a core component of the Digital4All initiative, which seeks to democratize access to technology and bridge the digital divide across Nigeria. The initiative’s rollout in universities reflects a strategic approach to cultivating a digitally literate workforce capable of competing in the global economy.

As NITDA and the NUC chart a path forward, their collaboration signals a renewed commitment to building a robust digital economy and empowering Nigerian youths with the skills to succeed in the 21st century.
