The Federal Government of Nigeria has stated its willingness to assist in the creation of one million digital jobs in Nigeria in collaboration with the global tech giant Google Incorporated.
According to a statement from the President’s Special Adviser on Special Duties, Communications, and Strategy, Dele Alake, this was stated by the President at the State House on Friday when Google Global Vice President Richard Gingras visited him at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Tinubu noted that Nigeria has been blessed with young people with talent and creativity who are eager to learn, particularly in this era of the digital revolution.
The IT behemoth, according to him, possessed the skills and resources necessary for young people to succeed.
“I am glad that Google is ready to partner with us. You have answered our call on digital innovation and to help our youths. You are supporting our efforts to promote digital economy. We are ready to work with you on your commitment to create 1 million digital jobs in Nigeria.
“We will give you all the support you need to have a beneficial corporate responsibility. We have started our economic reforms, even though tortuous.” Tinubu assured.
