News Highlights:

  • The Digital Literacy for All (DL4ALL) Initiative aims to equip underserved communities with essential digital skills.
  • NYSC members serving as DL4ALL champions play a crucial role in driving grassroots engagement, promoting financial inclusion, and fostering digital innovation.

The Director General of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Kashifu Inuwa, has called on National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members serving as champions of the Digital Literacy for All (DL4ALL) Initiative to intensify their efforts in training and raising awareness about the transformative power of digital literacy in shaping Nigeria’s future.

Digital TimesNG reports that this initiative, a key component of NITDA’s Strategic Roadmap and Action Plan (SRAP 2.0), focuses on grassroots engagement, aiming to equip underserved communities with vital digital skills and empower individuals to seize opportunities in an increasingly digital world.

Inuwa said in his keynote address, “you are the ambassadors of our shared vision to empower every Nigerian with the knowledge needed to navigate and excel in the digital economy. Your dedication and resilience will ensure that no Nigerian is left behind as we build a technologically driven, globally competitive economy.”

While reminding the champions of their critical role in actualising NITDA’s ambition to achieve short-term target of 70% digital literacy by 2027, and 95% by 2030, Inuwa emphasised that the goal inspire confidence, build capacity, and pave the way for a digitally inclusive society.

He added that the DL4ALL initiative aligned with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritises innovation-driven economic growth, youth empowerment, and national prosperity.

“Through your efforts, we will empower millions of Nigerians to unlock their potential, embrace innovation, and contribute meaningfully to national development.”

“This is our collective responsibility. The digital future we envision for Nigeria begins with the work you will do in your communities. Let us commit ourselves to this cause, knowing that the seeds we plant today will yield a harvest of opportunities for generations to come,” he added.

He affirmed NITDA’s commitment to leading Nigeria’s digital transformation and fostering a future where no citizen is left behind.

The Director General’s remarks were met with enthusiasm by the champions, who expressed their readiness to serve as change agents in their assigned communities. For many, the initiative represents an opportunity to make a tangible difference in people’s lives while gaining experience in leadership and community engagement.

As the champions prepare for deployment to various communities across Nigeria, their responsibilities are to impart knowledge, sensitise communities about the benefits of digital skills in everyday life, including financial inclusion through digital banking, leveraging e-commerce platforms for small businesses, and understanding cybersecurity essentials to navigate the digital space safely.

As these champions embark on their journey, their efforts are expected to create a ripple effect that will transform lives and communities across Nigeria.
