Under its flagship initiative, Digital Literacy for All (DL4ALL), the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), conducted a two-day physical training programme to equip teachers with essential digital skills.
The teachers who received trainings, were drawn from the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
The Abuja training, which began on September 18, 2025, builds on more than two weeks of intensive virtual sessions that had already reached and empowered 3,600 teachers across the country.
These virtual sessions provided foundational digital knowledge and prepared participants for the more practical, hands-on physical training.
The programme was implemented in collaboration with the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) and the National Senior Secondary Education Commission (NSSEC), and reflected a strong synergy among critical stakeholders in Nigeria’s education sector.
A central focus of the Abuja session is the empowerment of selected participants as Master Trainers. Through a structured train-the-trainer approach, Master Trainers will cascade the skills they have acquired to thousands of teachers within their respective states and communities, thereby amplifying the overall impact of the initiative and ensuring sustainability.
Beneficiaries of the training expressed great enthusiasm and appreciation for the opportunity.
