Nurturing Nigeria's Tech Ecosystem for Job Creation and Economic Prosperity
The future of Nigeria lies in our hands but more so in the hands of those who dare to dream, create, and explore. By harnessing the power of technology and innovation, we can drive economic growth and prosperity for all.
In line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we have developed a platform, TechAdvantage Nigeria, that leverages the knowledge and experience of our computer village model and scale it across the country to create millions of jobs and wealth for all those within the ecosystem. Our computer villages have a very effective business and apprenticeship system that nurtures itself and drives the economy. Now imagine a computer village model that is online and available to millions of people - transferring knowledge from experts to the next generation and reaching the corners of Nigeria.
Our focus is clear: to create millions of jobs, empower aspiring entrepreneurs, strengthen our local tech ecosystem, and create a community that brings together business owners and apprentices, technical experts and learners and a marketplace that links service providers with customers.
I invite you to immerse yourself in this transformative tech ecosystem and become part of our shared vision for the future. TechAdvantage Nigeria is more than a platform; it is a reflection of the potential of our great nation.
Computer Villages are a powerhouse for nation building through technology adoption and financial empowerment. According to NCC, there are over 160 million devices in Nigeria as at Dec 2023, these devices are connecting individuals to business and the global village. At TechAdvantage, we are taking the structures that power Computer Villages and making them available to everyone, by bringing it online.
