ActionAid Nigeria tasks FG on digital technology for girls

The Action Aid Nigeria (AAN) has urged the Federal Government to evolve a strategy that would enable Nigerian girls compete favourably on the global stage, through exposing them to digital technology education and skills from schools.

The AAN Country Director, Mr Andrew Mamedu, made the call on recently in Abuja during a digital skills sensitization program to commemorate this year’s International Day of the Girl Child (IDG).

He said that the world is a global stage and girls in the known developed countries with requisite knowledge in modern technology may have to compete with those in countries like Nigeria and others with little or no knowledge or skills on digital technology.
