In a clear demonstration of our Farmer Governor’s unwavering commitment to building a “New Niger”, we proudly hosted the National Flag-Off of the Digital Literacy for All (DL4All) Initiative. This landmark event underscores our dedication to equipping citizens with the digital skills necessary to thrive in the 21st century.
The DL4All initiative, a collaborative effort between the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) and the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), aims to increase digital literacy penetration in Nigeria by 70% (30 million people) by 2027. This ambitious goal reflects a national drive to bridge the digital divide and empower individuals across various sectors.
A Transformative Vision for Niger State

By embracing initiatives like DL4All, we are positioning Niger State as a leader in the digital revolution, ensuring that our youth, entrepreneurs, and civil servants gain the necessary skills to compete in a technology-driven world.
