In a momentous display of support for educational and technological advancement, the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) played a pivotal role in the 2024 Head-to-Head Debate Reality House Grand Finale. Hosted by the FCT Universal Basic Education Board (UBEB), the event brought together leading figures in education and technology to discuss and promote the empowerment of Nigeria’s youth.
The highlight of NITDA’s participation came through the insightful address delivered by Mr. Yakubu Musa from the Digital Literacy Department, representing Director General Kashifu Inuwa CCIE. Musa’s speech emphasized the strategic importance of investing in Nigeria’s youth, who he described as the nation’s most valuable asset.
Musa articulated that the future of Nigeria hinges on the effective harnessing of human potential. He advocated for a robust investment in human resources, arguing that such investments are critical to fostering innovation, generating wealth, and driving sustainable growth. According to Musa, nurturing the skills and capabilities of the younger generation is not merely a matter of policy but a fundamental strategy for national development.
He further explained that by prioritizing education and digital literacy, Nigeria could equip its youth with the tools necessary to thrive in an increasingly digital world. This approach, he argued, will contribute significantly to shaping a prosperous future for the country.
The message resonated strongly with attendees, reflecting NITDA’s ongoing commitment to leveraging technology and education as vehicles for national progress. By aligning with initiatives like the Head-to-Head Debate Reality House, NITDA underscores its dedication to fostering a culture of innovation and excellence among Nigeria’s youth.
