NITDA Launches 'Digital Literacy For All' Initiative

The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) is introducing the 'Digital Literacy for All' initiative, a pioneering effort aimed at bridging the digital divide, in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's priority area to reform the economy to deliver sustained inclusive growth.

'Digital Literacy for All' initiative seeks to ensure that every Nigerian has access to digital literacy, ensuring no one is left behind in our rapidly evolving digital world.

This initiative launched by NITDA is strategically designed to propel Nigeria towards a mid term target of achieving 70% digital literacy level by 2027.

This programme by NITDA will equip individuals with the necessary tools to:

1) Access and utilise online resources for education, employment, and government services safely.

2) Protect themselves online from cyber threats and misinformation.

3) Communicate and collaborate effectively using digital tools.

4) Develop the digital fluency required for many in- demand jobs.

5) Consideration will be given to translating content to local languages to ensure accessibility and cater to diverse audiences across Nigeria.
