Nigeria’s
most innovative and youth friendly network, Etisalat has encouraged Nigerian
youths to look beyond their present circumstance and break any limitation that may
be standing between them and their dream.
Head,
Marketing Communications, Etisalat Nigeria, Mr. Gerald Osugo, gave the advice when the Etisalat
team visited and inspired a group of youths, who were undergoing Information
Communication Technology (ICT) training at the Paradigm Initiative Network
(PIN) Centre in Lagos, in commemoration of the 2015 United Nations International
Youth Day penultimate Wednesday.
While stressing that
the rewards within the ICT space are remarkable, Osugo noted that Etisalat has
been at the forefront of youth empowerment by promoting initiatives that help
them reach their full potential.
“Etisalat has
developed several platforms that are geared towards adding value to the youth.
Last year a young Nigerian won the Etisalat Prize for Innovation when he came
up with an innovative ICT solution called Exammate which helps students to
study for examinations,” he disclosed.
The Programme
Manager, Paradigm Initiative Nigeria (PIN), Oluwatosin Abolaji, said PIN is a
social enterprise that connects Nigerian youths with ICT-enabled opportunities.
He explained that the digital jobs industry is estimated to grow to about $5
billion global by 2018, therefore it is important to expose the youth to
opportunities in digital/online jobs.
