The Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijanni, and the Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Dr. Aminu Maida, recently joined hands with Nokia Solutions and Networks Nigeria by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This agreement aims to provide training to young Nigerians in the latest 4G/5G radio and transmission technologies at the Nigerian Communications Commission’s Digital Parks.
Nokia Nigeria will establish a fully functional 5G/4G test lab, leveraging its advanced radio and transmission technologies as part of this partnership. This collaboration is geared towards enhancing the capacity and skill set of Nigerians, equipping them with the contemporary expertise required to thrive in the rapidly evolving telecommunications industry.
Aligned with the Ministry of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy’s vision to drive digital literacy and foster technical talent nationwide, Nokia Nigeria will also initiate an Entrepreneur Learning Programme. This program will deliver high-quality vocational training to 200 Nigerian students selected from across the country’s six geopolitical zones.
