Speaking on the importance of the training, Odunayo Sanya, Executive Secretary, MTN Foundation, said:

“In Nigeria today, there are a lot of businesses run by young people who require skills to sustain and upscale these businesses. The training we are delivering aims to equip our entrepreneurial youth with technological skills that they can in turn use to grow their businesses. As a technology company, we are committed to empowering young entrepreneurs in Nigeria and we’re constantly seeking ways to bridge the gap between our youths and the skills they require to thrive in a digital world. We will continue to partner with other organisations in this quest.”

“At Meta, we strongly believe that small businesses play a critical role in driving economic growth and development, and as such, we are committed to supporting them. We are proud to have invested in programs that are specifically designed to provide small businesses with the resources they need to grow and succeed, and by partnering with organizations such as MTN Foundation, we are able to have a direct and positive impact on the local economy. We invite small business owners to tap into these programs and resources to transform their businesses and thrive in the digital economy”, says Adaora Ikenze, Director of Public Policy, Anglophone West Africa, at Meta.

The 3,000 participants will be trained in modules including digital skills, artificial intelligence, and digital advertising.

The five phases completed were in collaboration with Oracle, KPMG, IBM, Digital Bridge Institute, CISCO, Google, Meta, and Microsoft.
