The Kaduna State Government has entered into an agreement with Google to train 5,000 women and girls in data science, artificial intelligence, and entrepreneurial application of digital technologies.
According to a statement by the governor’s spokesperson on Monday, the initiative, which is part of a broader skills development programme supported by Google, aims to empower 20,000 more women and young people across Nigeria with 21st-century skills, positioning them for opportunities in the digital and creative industries.
“The program will be executed by Data Science Nigeria, which will set up Arewa Tech4Ladies. This initiative is crafted to serve four key semi-urban and rural communities in Kaduna State, offering specialised women-focused learning, mentoring, and job placement support facilities.”
