The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has officially launched its Digital Literacy for All Initiative (DL4ALL) across Nigeria's 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, aiming to equip millions of Nigerians with essential digital skills.
Following a successful pilot phase that trained over 152,000 individuals in 12 states, the programme has now been rolled out nationwide. It sets ambitious targets to reach 70% of Nigerians with digital literacy by 2027 and 95% by 2030, aligning with the Federal Government's Renewed Hope Agenda.
