How Nigerians can learn AI, other high-paying tech skills for free

The Federal Government-backed Digital Training Academy in Nigeria is offering free training in high-demand tech skills through a partnership with Coursera. This initiative, part of the National Skilling Project, aims to improve employability and opportunities in the digital economy by providing access to over 10 skill areas across all 37 states.

The free training covers areas such as Software Development, Cloud Technologies, AI and Machine Learning, FinTech, and more. The programme is fully sponsored by the Federal Government, meaning participants do not pay for the learning licence. Interested Nigerians can apply through the Digital Training Academy portal by creating an account using their National Identification Number and phone number, completing their profiles, and taking a pre-assessment to determine their skill level. Upon successful completion, participants will receive certificates.
