DL4ALL Initiative: NITDA, NYSC Partner to Foster Digital Literacy

The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) in line with the Strategic Roadmap and Action Plan (SRAP 2.0), has forged a strategic partnership with the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to foster digital literacy and cultivate talent through the Digital Literacy for All (DL4ALL) Initiative.

The partnership was formalized during a courtesy visit to the NYSC Director-General at their Corporate Headquarters in Abuja, led by NITDA’s Director-General, Kashifu Inuwa, and his management team.

The partnership aims to train 30 million Nigerians, particularly youth, in digital skills, enabling them to access essential digital services, participate in the digital economy, compete for jobs, and enhance their employability.

In attendance was the Honourable Minister of State for Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, who facilitated the meeting and expressed strong support for the collaboration’s success.
