Hon. Adedeji Dhikrullahi Olajide, the dynamic Chairman of the House Committee on ICT and Cybersecurity, is once again proving his dedication to the Ibadan North West/Southwest Federal Constituency. By recognizing the urgent need for digital literacy in today’s world, Olajide has initiated the “Odidi Omo Free ICT Training” program, a visionary project aimed at empowering the youths of Ibadan with essential digital skills.
Today, the “Odidi Omo Free ICT Training” program unfolded at the Constituency Office, 3rd Floor, Wuraola Building, Adeoyo Bus Stop, Ring Road, Ibadan. In partnership with the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) and Techsave Nigeria Ltd., this initiative offered youths invaluable digital training at no cost. Participants left equipped with brand-new HP laptops, certificates, and cash gifts, ready to take on the digital era with confidence and skill.
Olajide’s commitment to youth empowerment stems from his belief that providing the right skill sets is key to unlocking potential. As the Chairman of the House Committee on ICT and Cybersecurity, he has consistently championed initiatives that benefit his constituents. Beyond the ICT training program, Olajide has led numerous projects aimed at enhancing access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities in Ibadan.
Hon. Olajide’s efforts extend beyond training programs. He tirelessly works to secure funding for critical infrastructure, including schools, healthcare facilities, and roads. His collaborations with local businesses and organizations aim to create job opportunities and stimulate economic growth, reflecting his deep commitment to his community’s well-being.
Looking ahead, Hon. Olajide has ambitious plans, which are evident by the establishment of ICT hubs across the Ibadan North West/Southwest Federal Constituency. These hubs will provide ongoing support and resources to the youth, ensuring they have continuous access to digital tools and training. Olajide’s vision is to create a robust digital ecosystem that fosters innovation and growth, empowering the next generation to thrive in a technology-driven world.
The impact of Olajide’s initiatives is best captured by the voices of the beneficiaries. Akinola Shukurat Abimbola, a participant in the ICT program, expressed her heartfelt gratitude: *”I have never been given this kind of opportunity before. I am being empowered and equipped with cash and the right tools to thrive in this digital world. Thank you, Hon. Olajide, for this. God continue to bless you.”*
This is not the first time Hon. Olajide has launched such impactful programs. Previous initiatives have provided youths with digital marketing and web design skills, enabling them to become self-employed or secure remote work opportunities. The success of these programs has only reinforced his commitment to investing in Ibadan’s future leaders.
Hon. Olajide’s mission is clear: to empower the youth of Ibadan with the skills they need to succeed. *”The youth of Ibadan is the heartbeat of our community,”* he affirms. *”By equipping them with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed, we are empowering them to shape their futures and contribute to the overall development of our region.”*
The “Odidi Omo Free ICT Training” program exemplifies Hon. Olajide’s ongoing commitment to his constituents. As today’s event at the Constituency Office demonstrated, his dedication continues to inspire hope and progress within Ibadan’s vibrant landscape. With plans to bring more of this empowerment across the ICT hubs, Olajide’s vision for a digitally empowered Oyo state is just beginning.
