This forward-looking curriculum seeks to revolutionize how Nigerians engage with technology, making digital literacy accessible and standardized for all citizens.

By equipping citizens with digital competencies, the nation not only opens doors to new opportunities but also enhances its global competitiveness. As digital literacy spreads, the job market is expected to evolve, reducing unemployment and boosting productivity across industries. Furthermore, a digitally literate population can attract more significant investments, driving economic growth and prosperity at the national level. Hon.
