The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), in partnership with the Final Year Committee of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU), has launched a capacity-building program in Bauchi State aimed at strengthening digital literacy and preparing students for life after graduation.

The initiative, themed “Upskill for Employability and Self Reliance,” seeks to equip students with both foundational digital literacy and advanced technological skills. It also provides practical guidance to support innovation, job creation, and wealth generation as part of efforts to prepare graduates for Nigeria’s rapidly evolving digital economy.

The program reflects NITDA’s broader mandate to drive Nigeria’s digital transformation agenda and aligns with the agency’s initiatives under the National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy (NDEPS), which prioritises digital literacy and skills as a cornerstone for sustainable growth.
