This was the crux of the NITDA-JICA North East Startups Training (NEST) Programme in Abuja yesterday where 20 startups selected to participate were trained to accelerate their digital skills and expand their talent base.
Speaking during the ceremony, the director general of NITDA, Kashifu Inuwa, said the post–COVID-19 realities have brought in new ways of doing business, adding that Nigerian young people must be assisted to key into the new changes to become competitive.
The NITDA boss, who was represented by Acting Coordinator, Office For Nigerian Digital Innovation (ONDI), Yakubu Musa, said “therefore, to remain competitive in this new business and economic environment, new strategies and practices are required to ensure that Nigeria remains competitive in the global digital economy.”
