Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Ali Pantami, middle, been assisted by governor Badaru and Emir of Hadejia Adamu Maje while commissioning community information technology centre in Hadejia Local Govt Area, Jigawa state, 20th Jan, 2020. The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, has urged Nigerian youth to give priority to acquiring information technology skills over having university degrees.
“Digital skills should have priority over even University degrees and certificates. If a student can acquire a certificate and skills married together, that is the best. But if the student graduates from university with only one, it is better to have skills than a certificate,” Mr Pantami said. Mr Pantami also urged Nigerian youth to use their digital skills in making money instead of spreading fake news and promoting disunity.The federal government through the community information technology centres hopes to identify the brilliant youth with innovative ideas to be supported to put the ideas to use, the minister said.
The earlier the better o, there's a massive revolution going on with process automation alot of graduated and working class will be sacked. This is time to re-evaluate, don't be caught unaware
He will never say that. Don't be unfortunate!
More laptops on the go and more SARS harrassment
That will be a step in the right direction if they put the necessary structures and technical know how in place.
He right though
Has he forgotten ICT uses computer 😳 and you know having a computer is a yahoo tag 🤣
Instead of them to build tech hubs around they will be dashing out wheelbarrow and grinding machine
Social media is part of ICT skills, Your Regime under The General Buhari made moves to gag it, also to get anyone hanged to death for using it.
At the end of the day... It is still the Govt draconian policies that will frustrate these Nigerian youths. Just like the campaign for small scale businesses which Govt/CAC is frustrating at the moment due to selfishness.
Do that SARS can arrest them and call them Yahoo boiz.
