Globally, digital literacy has become indispensable for every citizen, whether to communicate, find employment, receive comprehensive education, or socialise.
The Fund recently inaugurated a committee on digital literacy, to advance the course of Information Technology in the country.
Speaking during the inauguration, Echono said the constitution of the team became necessary given the demand for technology in today’s world, not only in tertiary education but Nigeria’s economy. “As the world and indeed Nigeria continue to grapple with the growing jobs crisis, most Nigerians across all categories of the workforce lack the basic technological skills needed for real business application.
He noted that TETfund has found itself in a critical role and the Fund must play its role in reaching these targets through interventions to beneficiary institutions across various states and local governments where the bulk of the youth population pass through to enter the workforce. “As part of the component, also we will develop a device that will capture our own local thesis this time because the current system we use, the thesis reproduced in this country are not in the database and it is difficult to cross check them but now that we are going to have all our thesis digitalised.
He also charged the committee to bring the framework for amplifying the efforts towards digital literacy productivity and emergent skills. “Nigeria will continue to be grateful to TETfund and to your particular time in office because this is epoch making history, you won’t know until a few months from now when we put a road map and things Begin to work.
