Nigeria has unveiled the DeepTech_Ready Upskilling programme, a strategic initiative aimed at equipping young Nigerians with critical digital skills. Launched under the broader 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) initiative, the programme is designed to strengthen Nigeria’s position as a leader in digital innovation.
Dr. Bosun Tijani, the Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, introduced the initiative, stressing its role in meeting the rising demand for tech talent. “The programme is not only a response to the increasing demand for skilled tech talent but also aims to make a significant contribution to Nigeria’s digital economy,” he stated.
With a strong focus on Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI), DeepTech_Ready aims to provide young Nigerians with the technical expertise needed to thrive in the digital age. Aspiring tech professionals are encouraged to apply via the official programme portal, with the expectation that thousands will seize this opportunity.
A Game Changer for Nigeria’s Digital Future
The programme aligns with Nigeria’s broader goal of building a digitally skilled workforce that can compete globally. As more Nigerians gain access to cutting-edge training, the country hopes to drive innovation and economic growth, reinforcing its status as a key player in the global tech ecosystem.
With investments in upskilling initiatives like DeepTech_Ready, Nigeria is setting the stage for a future where digital expertise fuels national progress. The question remains: how will this new wave of tech talent reshape Nigeria’s digital economy?
I am passionate about crafting stories, vibing to good music (and making some too), debating Nigeria’s political future like it’s the World Cup, and finding the perfect quiet spot to work and unwind.
