Nigerians interested in acquiring digital skills can apply for free training through the Federal Government-backed Digital Training Academy, which offers government-sponsored learning licences in partnership with Coursera.

The programme is part of the National Skilling Project and is designed to help Nigerians develop skills that can improve their employability and opportunities in the digital economy.

According to the academy’s official website, 36,000 Nigerians are to be enrolled in the programme, with training covering more than 10 skill areas across all 37 states. The programme is fully sponsored by the Federal Government, meaning successful participants do not pay for the learning licence.
