\u201cThis project is about nurturing creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship among Nigeria\u2019s youth,\u201d Tinubu said during the launch. \u201cWe are ensuring that no community is left behind in Nigeria\u2019s digital transformation journey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The initiative aims to bridge the gap between education and employability by equipping young Nigerians with digital tools and skills. Tinubu emphasized that the project aligns with President Bola Tinubu\u2019s vision of building a knowledge-based economy where \u201cevery child, regardless of background or geography, has access to quality digital learning opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Presidency<\/strong> echoed this sentiment, stating that the initiative reflects the administration\u2019s broader commitment to inclusive growth and youth development. \u201cThis is a practical demonstration of our digital inclusion agenda,\u201d a spokesperson said. \u201cIt complements national reforms aimed at unlocking the potential of Nigeria\u2019s youth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Nigerian Senate<\/strong> also welcomed the development. Senator Ibrahim Bomai, Chair of the Senate Committee on ICT and Cybersecurity, described the project as \u201ca timely intervention that will accelerate digital literacy and foster innovation in underserved communities.\u201d He called for sustained investment in similar initiatives nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Public response<\/strong> has been largely positive. Community leaders and educators in states like Edo and Nasarawa praised the centres as \u201cgame-changers\u201d for local students. \u201cThis is the first time many of our children will have access to structured digital education,\u201d said Mrs. Edesili Okpebholo Anani, coordinator for the Office of the First Lady in Edo State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The centres are equipped with internet-enabled computers, learning software, and training modules designed to promote digital literacy, entrepreneurship, and creative problem-solving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Renewed Hope Initiative\u2019s Digital Learning Project is part of a broader effort to prepare Nigeria\u2019s youth for the demands of a global digital economy. Tinubu urged beneficiaries to embrace the opportunity with diligence, unity, and compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is not just about technology,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s about building a future where every Nigerian youth has the tools to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ABUJA, Nigeria (FN) \u2014 Nigeria\u2019s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has inaugurated ten new Digital Learning Centres across the country, reaffirming her commitment to youth empowerment through education and technology.
