UNICEF, Airtel, and the Federal Government have expanded free digital learning to 2,000 Nigerian schools. This initiative reaches one million students and more than 20,000 teachers, according to Punch and Punch Nigeria.

At MOBEX Africa 2026, former Nigerian Vice President Oluyemi Oluleke Osinbajo called for increased collaboration among African nations to improve digital infrastructure and digital identity systems. MyJoyOnline Ghana reports that Osinbajo emphasized the need for practical solutions that allow African countries to expand access to economic opportunities and maintain control over their digital future.

Osinbajo noted that while Africa has progressed in mobile and financial technology, digital power remains tilted toward wealthier nations and major technology companies. He suggested that meaningful digital sovereignty can be achieved through strategic investment in local capabilities.
