NITDA Targets 70% Digital Literacy by 2027, Partners NYSC, GetBundi

We are thrilled to announce that the National Information Technology Development Agency of Nigeria (NITDA) has embarked on a transformative journey to empower Nigerians across six digital literacy competency areas through the Digital Literacy for All (DL4ALL) initiative in collaboration with the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and GetBundi Education Technology. The ultimate objective is to elevate Nigeria's digital literacy level to 70% by 2027 as outlined in the National Digital Literacy Framework (NDLF).

This initiative, fully supported by NITDA Director General Mr Kashifu Inuwa CCIE, recognises the urgency of equipping individuals with the necessary tools to access and utilise online resources for education, employment, and government services safely. It aims to help individuals protect themselves online from cyber threats and misinformation, communicate and collaborate effectively using digital tools, and develop the digital fluency required for many in-demand jobs.

Under this pilot phase, NYSC members from 12 states in Nigeria will be trained by master trainers instructed by GetBundi to further educate Nigerians in their primary areas of assignment. As an incentive to the NYSC members, NITDA is sponsoring them to gain expertise in three essential digital skills: Graphics, Video Editing, and Digital Marketing, provided by GetBundi.
