Enroll for a Course in NITDA’s Digital Literacy For All Program
Applications are ongoing in the Digital Literacy For All Program by NITDA. DL4ALL is an initiative aimed at equipping every citizen with the necessary digital skills to succeed in today’s interconnected environment.
Our Vision – To establish a digitally literate Nigeria where everyone has access to opportunities, can contribute to development, and secure a more promising future.
Programs – To realize this vision, we are concentrating on three primary programs:
▪ Incorporating digital literacy into school curricula. NITDA is collaborating with the Federal Ministry of Education to guarantee that every Nigerian student graduates with 21st-century digital skills, spanning from primary to tertiary education.
▪ Providing digital literacy training and certification for the workforce. We are joining forces with public sector leaders and industry specialists to prepare the workforce with the skills essential for Nigeria’s digital transformation. This initiative will culminate in a professional digital literacy certification, facilitating global job mobility.
▪ Implementing a digital literacy program for the informal sector. Through partnerships with the NYSC, State Governments, and private entities, we are empowering citizens across all 774 LGAs with the essential digital skills required to succeed in the digital economy.
Goal – To attain 70% digital literacy by 2027.
Together, we can close the digital gap. Let us work towards a brighter, digitally literate Nigeria!
