From Femi Oyelola in Kaduna
Governor Uba Sani has reiterated his commitment to supporting initiatives that expand digital literacy, promote innovation, and provide equal learning opportunities for every child.
The Governor, speaking at the “Class Is Open Everywhere” DigiTruck Digital Skills Training Programme on Tuesday, emphasized that no child will be discriminated against, whether in urban or rural communities.
Represented by Commissioner of Youth Development, Barrister Gloria Ibrahim, the Governor noted that access to technology and the right skills are no longer luxuries but necessities.
According to the Governor, students of Kaduna State must not only be educated; they must be equipped.
He said that a fully equipped mobile digital classroom will move directly to secondary schools, ‘’bringing learning to the students instead of waiting for students to find learning. It ensures that opportunity is not limited by location.’’
The Governor said that the programme will introduce students to basic computing, AI fundamentals, digital creativity, and other essential 21st-century skills
Governor Uba Sani pointed out that these are the very skills that will define employability, innovation, and leadership in the years ahead
‘’During its stay in Kaduna State, the DigiTruck is expected to reach between 20 and 30 schools across our three zones, impacting over 1,000 students, he disclosed.
This means hundreds of young people will have their first real interaction with practical technology, and for many of them, this experience may shape their career paths,’’ he added.
The Governor expressed confidence that an exposure like this will spark curiosity, build confidence, and inspire our students to see themselves not only as users of technology, but as creators and problem-solvers
He encouraged the students to participate actively, ask questions, explore, and make the most of this opportunity, adding that the future you are preparing for is already here. This programme is opening the door for you to step into it.
