On August 15, 2025, our university launched an exciting partnership with Google to deliver a comprehensive Digital Skills Training Program for students, staff, and the local community. Hosted at the university’s ICT Centre, the initiative aims to equip over 1,000 participants with in-demand skills in coding, digital marketing, and data analysis.The program kicked off with a workshop led by Google trainers, focusing on web development and cloud computing. “This collaboration empowers our community to thrive in the digital economy,” said Prof. Chinedu Okoye, Dean of the Faculty of Computing, during the opening ceremony.

The six-month program offers free access to Google’s online learning platforms and hands-on mentorship. Students like Aisha Bello, a third-year computer science major, are already benefiting: “Learning to build apps has opened new career paths for me,” she shared. The initiative also includes a job fair to connect trainees with tech employers.

This partnership underscores the university’s commitment to bridging the digital divide in Nigeria. Interested participants can register on our website for upcoming sessions.Stay connected for updates on this transformative program and how you can get involved!
