Under the “Digital Literacy for All” (DL4ALL) initiative, NITDA will aim for a 70 % literacy milestone by 2027, covering skills such as device and software usage, information and data literacy, communication, digital content creation, safety, and problem-solving. Meanwhile, partnerships with global tech platforms (e.g., Meta Platforms, Inc./Facebook) are underway to support digital skills training and address issues of misinformation and digital access.

The significance of these targets extends beyond education: they are central to Nigeria’s strategy for economic diversification, innovation-driven growth and expanding its role in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). By cultivating a digitally literate population and strengthening AI competencies, Nigeria looks to unlock new job opportunities, attract investment and compete globally.

However, execution will require infrastructure upgrades, wide-scale training, inclusive access especially in rural areas, and strong coordination among stakeholders.
