Kwara State Government says it has trained no fewer than 5,604 students of public secondary schools between 2024 and 2025 in digital technology.
The beneficiaries were drawn from 50 public secondary schools across the state.
The state said it engaged over 120 instructors, including National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members, digital volunteers and ICT teachers during the period.
Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq restated his administration’s commitment to empowering young techies and transforming the state into a hub of technological innovations.
The governor expressed satisfaction about the rising interest and success of young ‘Kwarans’ in the tech space — a trend again seen at the just concluded Kwara coding and digital literacy programme, tagged Kwara futures exhibition 2025.
The digital programme was organised by the Office of the Special Assistant to the Governor on Digital Innovation, Kayode Ishola.
The theme was: ‘Kwara Futures: Empowering a digitally ready generation.’
The governor said the government was determined to put Kwara on the global map by creating seamless pathways for collaboration from international tech accelerators to cross-border funding opportunities.
