VDT and Partners Support Girls in ICT Day Campaign

VDT, along with telecommunications companies such as MTN and Zoracom, is backing the Girls in ICT Day campaign, which is set to take place in Lagos as part of an annual initiative by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The campaign aims to sensitize and encourage young women and girls to explore careers related to information and communication technology (ICT), a field traditionally dominated by males.

The theme for this year's campaign focuses on artificial intelligence and the role of girls in shaping the digital future. Mr.

Ufuoma Emuophedaro, CEO of Ebusi Life Community Limited, emphasized the importance of women's contributions to future technological innovations. He called for organizations to collaborate and support the campaign, highlighting the need for strategic initiatives to empower young girls in their career aspirations in technology.
