The Federal Government has launched a groundbreaking digital training academy, selecting 16,000 Nigerians for its first cohort — chosen from over 72,000 applicants — to upskill in globally recognized tech fields like AI, cybersecurity, and software development. Backed by the Nigeria Education Sector Renewal Initiative and aligned with the President’s “Renewed Hope Agenda,” this free program leverages global platforms like Coursera and Pluralsight to bridge the skills gap and prepare youth for the future of work. With plans for more cohorts and a national launch on September 14, this is just the beginning of a major push to build Nigeria’s digital workforce.
