The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria

Welcome to the irony called Africa! A continent so blessed yet so poor. My dear country, Nigeria, is known as the poverty capital of the world, and it is a reality I find to be very shameful. This reality is almost the same for the majority of Africans as poverty continues to ravage the continent.

In 2014, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act defines digital literacy skills as a workforce preparation activity. Digital literacy is required for being employed in some blue-collar jobs now that technology is cheaper and available. With more unskilled population on the continent, digital literacy skill acquisition should be a deliberate plan, enforced by the government at secondary school levels.

Using technology, this digital agriculture platforms have been improving seeds and farm inputs, training framers on modern farming techniques as well as providing a market for the sale of their farm produce. This, in return, has empowered rural farmers to cultivate more acres of farmland and, by extension, lead to increased food production and security in Africa.
