The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Ibrahim Pantami, yesterday urged the Nigeria Computer Society , the umbrella body for all computer professionals and practitioners in the country to prioritise digital skills and not certificates.

According to him, soft skills were required for the fourth industrial revolution, saying the NCS must begin to accept people with digital skills as their potential members, without laying so much emphasis on certificates. Citing the theme of the NCS International Conference: ‘Smart, Secure and Sustainable Nation’, Pantami identified some critical soft skills that could drive digital innovation to include: Critical Thinking, Analytical Thinking, Collaborative Thinking and Creative Thinking.
