This initiative is designed to equip participants with practical digital competencies through a hybrid structure comprising five days of online learning followed by five days of hands-on physical sessions.
Participants were drawn from a diverse range of youth-focused groups and organizations, including:
The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN)
Community and Political Party Youths

The training encompasses beneficiaries from six local government areas within Ogun Central: Odeda, Ifo, Ewekoro, Obafemi-Owode, Abeokuta South, and Abeokuta North.
This programme highlights Senator Salisu’s continued dedication to promoting digital inclusion, fostering youth empowerment, and supporting economic development in Ogun Central.
The Senator encourages all eligible participants to seize this opportunity to build their digital literacy and enhance their competitiveness in a rapidly evolving digital economy.
