The NCC chief executive said access to technology must be matched with the capacity to use it productively, noting that technology-enabled schools, digital learning facilities, robotics and artificial intelligence laboratories reflect an understanding that education must evolve alongside technology.
Maida said the future of Nigeria’s digital economy requires strong collaboration among the federal and state governments, the private sector, academia and development partners.
“No single institution can build Nigeria’s digital future alone. The Federal Government, state governments, the private sector, academia and development partners all have complementary roles to play,” he said.
He thanked the Enugu State Government for embracing the partnership and reaffirmed NCC’s commitment to initiatives that expand digital opportunities, strengthen human capital and ensure that no community is left behind.
The NCC Digital Industrial Park and NCC Learning Centre in Enugu are expected to provide spaces where young people can acquire relevant skills, entrepreneurs can turn ideas into viable businesses and local enterprises can connect to opportunities beyond Enugu and Nigeria.
