Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has called on graduates of the Renewed Hope Initiative and Huawei “Women in Tech” training programme to put their newly acquired digital skills to use in uplifting their communities and driving inclusive development.

Speaking at the graduation ceremony of 300 women beneficiaries, Mrs. Tinubu emphasized that empowering women with technology is essential for national progress.

“I urge you all to take these skills beyond this programme — use them to create opportunities, solve problems, and empower others,” she said.

The training, which focused on areas like coding, data science, and digital entrepreneurship, forms part of the First Lady’s Renewed Hope Initiative aimed at boosting women’s inclusion in Nigeria’s tech space.

Why It Matters

• The initiative aligns with global efforts to bridge the digital gender gap.
• It also supports the federal government’s goals on digital literacy and youth employment.
