The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has launched a comprehensive Digital Literacy Training and Certification program for federal civil servants.
This initiative aims to empower government employees with essential IT knowledge and skills, ultimately enhancing public service delivery.
In collaboration with the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, NITDA is providing a 3-day workshop at the e-Government Training Centre, Public Service Institute of Nigeria (PSIN).
The program seeks to foster human capital development in the digital economy and strengthen Nigeria’s position as a global hub for technology and innovation.
Over 69,000 federal civil servants under the Head of Service will be trained on a weekly basis, covering the entire workforce in just 9 months.
NITDA’s Director General, Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, emphasised the government’s commitment to achieving 70% digital literacy in Nigeria by 2027, aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. Inuwa highlighted the critical role of digital literacy in enhancing governance, promoting innovation, and driving inclusive economic growth.
This program is a key component of NITDA’s mandate to upskill civil servants, ensuring they can implement digital solutions for improved governance and service delivery.
