NCC to Boost Digital Literacy via ITU Recognition

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) announced its intention to leverage the Digital Bridge Institute's (DBI) recent designation as an International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Digital Transformation Centre (DTC) to promote digital literacy and inclusion across Nigeria. This announcement was made during a courtesy visit by Ms. Robyn Fysh, the Senior Digital Skills Officer of the ITU, to the NCC Head Office in Abuja.

The visit coincided with Fysh's official engagements in Nigeria and was part of her mission to DBI following its recognition by the ITU. The NCC's Director of Research and Development, Babagana Digima, represented the Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the NCC, Dr. Aminu Maida.

Digima emphasized the significance of DBI's designation as a milestone for Nigeria's digital skills ecosystem, highlighting the opportunity for enhanced collaboration among the NCC, DBI, and the ITU to advance digital skills development and inclusion in the country.
