Arewa Tech Makers: Empowering Northern Nigeria through ICT Education and Digital Skills Acquisition
Arewa Tech Makers is an innovative initiative dedicated to transforming the digital landscape of northern Nigeria. By promoting ICT education and digital skills acquisition, the program seeks to empower individuals, boost local economies, and bridge longstanding gaps in access to technology. At its core, the initiative is designed not only to enhance technical competencies but also to address broader socio-economic challenges including multidimensional poverty, high unemployment rates, and pervasive inequalities that have long hindered sustainable development in the region.
Mission
Arewa Tech Makers is built on the vision that digital literacy is a critical lever for social transformation. The initiative has a dual mission:
Empowerment through Education: Provide accessible, high quality ICT training to enable individuals to acquire digital skills that are relevant for the modern workforce.
Economic and Social Transformation: Use digital education as a tool to alleviate multidimensional poverty, reduce unemployment, and diminish social inequalities by equipping participants with skills that enhance their employability and entrepreneurial potential.
