The Honourable Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr Bosun Tijanni, the Executive Vice Chairman/CEO of the Nigerian Communications Commission NCC, Dr Aminu Maida have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Nokia Solutions and Networks Nigeria, to train young Nigerians on latest 4G/ 5G radio and transmission technologies at the Nigerian Communications Commission’s Digital Parks.

Nokia Nigeria would be setting up a fully functional 5G/4G test lab, leveraging its latest radio and transmission technologies.

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.

This is in line with the Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy’s goal to drive digital literacy and build a pipeline of technical talents across Nigeria. It was gathered that under the collaboration, 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 the country.
