The federal government of Nigeria has contracted Nokia Solutions and Networks Nigeria to train young Nigerians on latest 4G/ 5G radio and transmission technologies.
While signing an MoU on the project with Nokia earlier in the week, Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijanni and the Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Aminu Maida stressed that the programme was designed to advance Nigeria’s Vision on Digital Capacity.
Nokia is billed to deliver the task using NCC’s Digital Parks.
According to a press statement by NCC on Friday, Nokia Nigeria would be setting up a fully functional 5G/4G test lab, leveraging their latest radio and transmission technologies.
The commission: “This collaboration advances the vision to enhance the capacity and skills-set of Nigerians, by equipping them with contemporary skills and knowledge needed to adapt to the rapidly evolving telecommunications industry.
In tune with the Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy’s goal to drive digital literacy and build a pipeline of technical talents across Nigeria, Nokia Nigeria would also set up an Entrepreneur Learning Programme where it would deliver high-quality vocational trainings to 200 Nigerian students chosen from across the six geo political zones of Nigeria.”
