The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has launched a Centre of Excellence in Abuja to provide Nigerians with technical and vocational skills for the digital economy.
Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, expects NCC to collaborate with more stakeholders to make this a true centre of excellence for Africa, emphasizing that no society can prosper without connectivity, which requires skilled human resources for proper functioning.
“My expectation is that NCC will collaborate with more stakeholders to make this initiative a true centre of excellence for Africa. There is no society in the world that can prosper without connectivity. The connectivity requires human for its proper functioning,” the minister said on the occasion
Dr. Aminu Maida, the Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, noted this is the first time in Nigeria that radio engineers will have the opportunity to physically interact with radio equipment.
His word: “This is the first time in Nigeria when our radio engineers will have the opportunity to come and touch and feel what a radio looks likes.”
The establishment of this Centre aligns with the mandate of the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) to provide, promote and encourage the acquisition of skills in industry and commerce. It also complements the efforts of the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) in setting training standards and providing need-based human capital development interventions through its Model Skills Training Centre in Abuja.
