The Federal Government has unveiled a plan to achieve 95% digital literacy among Nigerians by 2030, with a specific target of training and empowering at least 30 million citizens by 2027.
Kashifu Abdullahi, Director-General of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), disclosed the initiative during the Grand Finale of the Tech4Dev Digital for All Challenge 2.0 in Abuja, where he was represented by Aristotle Onumo, NITDA’s Director of Stakeholder Management. Abdullahi emphasised that NITDA’s strategy for achieving the set goals involves building key partnerships, particularly with the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and educational institutions.
“The Digital for All Challenge 2.0 aligns with our mission to ensure that 95% of Nigerians are digitally literate by 2030. By 2027, we aim to train 30 million Nigerians and provide them with the necessary digital skills for active participation in the economy,” Abdullahi said.
