Earlier this week, under the leadership of the Honourable Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijanni, the Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Dr. Aminu Maida, entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Nokia Solutions and Networks Nigeria. The aim of this collaboration is 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, utilizing their cutting-edge radio and transmission technologies. This partnership marks a significant step towards enhancing the capacity and skillset of Nigerians, equipping them with the contemporary skills and knowledge essential to adapt to the rapidly evolving telecommunications industry.
Aligned with the Ministry of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy’s objective to promote digital literacy and cultivate a pool of technical talents nationwide, Nokia Nigeria will also launch an Entrepreneur Learning Programme. This initiative will offer high-quality vocational training to 200 Nigerian students selected from across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria.
