The Federal Government has launched a Digital Training Academy with 16,000 Nigerians selected for its inaugural cohort, as part of efforts to equip young people with globally recognised digital skills and prepare them for opportunities in the digital economy. The National Coordinator, Special Projects and Innovation Unit of the Federal Ministry of Education, Adebayo Onibanjo, disclosed this on Wednesday at a media briefing ahead of the national launch of the academy scheduled for September 14, 2026.
