The Special Adviser to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Education, Tokunbo Wahab, has said digital skills are critical to empowering residents economically, especially as technology is key to human existence.

He said this is why the state government is investing hugely in equipping students and youths with digital skills and cyber-security training, digital marketing, entrepreneurship, Python and other programming that conform with the 21st century digital requirement.

The Special Adviser explained that the training was the second phase of the three-phase programme, designed to build a system that ensures youths do not need to wait for employment after their education. Rather, they become employers of labour, as well as solution providers for Nigeria, especially Lagos State.

He disclosed that during phase one of the scheme, pupils from 720 public and private schools were empowered with the required digital skills, thereby building an army of pupils that are tech-savvy. “There is a lot we are doing backdoor that we cannot say publicly, for to security reasons. And that is why the State Government has been consistent in all its youth empowerment programmes towards a better future and crime-free society.
