The centres are located in Abia State, Delta State, Edo State, Kano State, Katsina State, Lagos State, Nasarawa State, Ondo State, Yobe State, and Zamfara State.

The statement reads, “The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has reaffirmed her commitment to youth empowerment through education with the commissioning of ten new Digital Learning Centres across the country.

“The centres, inaugurated virtually from the State House in Abuja, are located in Abia, Delta, Edo, Kano, Katsina, Lagos, Nasarawa, Ondo, Yobe, and Zamfara States. Implemented under the  Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), the project aligns with the First Lady’s vision to complement President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s developmental agenda by investing in education and digital inclusion.”

According to the statement, these learning centres were created in partnership with the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) with the aim of bridging the gap between education and employability.

It added, “In partnership with the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), the Digital Learning Centres are designed to promote technological literacy and bridge the gap between education and employability. The collaboration reflects a shared national goal of building a knowledge-based economy where young Nigerians can thrive in a technology-driven world.”

By integrating technology into learning, the programme seeks to empower students and communities, particularly in underserved areas, to participate in the opportunities of the digital age.

“The Renewed Hope Initiative’s Digital Learning Project reinforces the Federal Government’s commitment to inclusive growth and human capital development. It underscores the belief that every child, regardless of background or geography, deserves access to the tools and knowledge needed to shape Nigeria’s digital future,” the statement concluded.
