The Interim Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Maj Gen Barry Tariye Ndiomu (rtd) has secured a mouth watering ICT deal for ex-agitators.<\/p>\n

The PAP boss who is desirous of seeing the productive engagement of graduate and skilled ex-agitators in Nigeria’s labour market is to partner with the National Information Technology Development Agency(NITDA) in the days ahead.<\/p>\n

To this end, our sources report that NITDA has agreed to grant special concessions to qualified ex-agitators by offering them scholarships in ICT training.<\/p>\n

As a follow up to the agreed decision, the management of NITDA is to set up an inter-agency committee charged with the responsibility of engaging ex-agaitators in the new digital world.<\/p>\n

This outcome was made known to the public during a courtesy visit by the interim Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) to the Director General of NITDA, Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Ndiomu at the meeting presented a bouquet of requests to the agency including employment, digital training or scholarship opportunities for ex-agitators within the ambit of the ICT world.<\/p>\n

The Director General of NITDA acceded to the various requests made by the Interim Administrator.<\/p>\n

He said: “We shall work with you to ensure you succeed in your assignment. We shall therefore set up an inter-agency committee which will serve as a bridge between NITDA and PAP.<\/p>

“It will equally serve as a warehouse of information on digital training opportunities. Potential trainees would have easy and seamless access to the opportunities open to them.”<\/p>\n

The Director General further stated that the Train-the-trainer, one of its flagship digital training programmes would be of immense benefit to the ex-agitators as it offers them the opportunity to earn monthly stipends while improving on their digital skills as trainers.<\/p>\n

According to him graduates of NITDA training programmes will be provided with the necessary tools to compete with their counterparts elsewhere as global digital entrepreneurs or global employees.<\/p>\n

The involvement of Microsoft certification in Nigeria implies that trainees can market their skills and competences at the global space as global citizens.<\/p>\n

\"\"Brigadier General Oluwafemi Obasa, PAP’s S.A Data is to serve as a member of the committee.<\/p>\n

He is expected to articulate the interests of PAP as well as liaise with NIDA from time to time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
