Onah said that the programme was aimed at giving the trainees the right skills for the job market and also place them on a job after the training.
The official said that the programme, “She Hacks Africa“ was an initiative of WAAW foundation that had trained a lot of young people in Web Programming Technologies and improve their career.
“She Hacks Africa Academy is an intensive 4-month Bootcamp and 2-month internship programme designed for Nigerian youths to acquire skills in full-stack web development and product design.
“The interactive programme aims to develop software programming and entrepreneurial skills in youths who would go on to become software developers and technology entrepreneurs.
