…Tijani, Aminu move to advance Nigeria’s vision on digital ecosystem
By Dele Ogbodo
With the emerging outcomes of studies conducted globally which indicate that by 2030 there would be short fall of expertise in telecommunications and digital skills throughout the world, the Federal Government in strategic pursuit of President Bola Tinubu’s digital agenda in consonance with the Renewed Hope Agenda vision, the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijanni, the Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Dr. Aminu Maida, earlier in the week signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Nokia Solutions and Networks Nigeria.
The deal is to train young Nigerians on latest 4G/5G radio and transmission technologies at the Nigerian Communications Commission’s Digital Parks.
By implication, Nokia Nigeria would be setting up a fully functional 5G/4G test lab, leveraging their latest radio and transmission technologies.
This collaboration, observers say will advances the vision to enhance the capacity and skills-set of Nigerians, by equipping them with contemporary skills and knowledge needed to adapt to the rapidly evolving global telecommunications industry.
In tune with the Ministry goal to drive digital literacy and build a pipeline of technical talents across Nigeria, Nokia Nigeria would also set up an Entrepreneur Learning Programme where it would deliver high-quality vocational trainings to 200 Nigerian students chosen from across the six geo political zones of Nigeria.
