Lokoja, March 29, 2017 (NAN) Hon. Buba Jubril, the Deputy Majority Leader in House of Representatives, has advised youths to increase their knowledge of ICT to guarantee better future for themselves.
Jubril gave the advice in Lokoja on Wednesday while declaring open a three-day training in ICT for 200 youths selected across the 21 wards in Lokoja/Kogi Federal Constituency in Kogi State.
The training programme is being sponsored by Jibril.
He said that many activities had become online-based across the globe and there was urgent need for Nigeria youths to join the trend.
The lawmaker, who was represented by his Personal Assistant, Mr Moses Adoga, said that the training was to prepare participants for computer-based tests and other computer related activities.
He said that participants, who are mostly students in senior secondary schools in the constituency, would be exposed to basic knowledge of computer to get them prepared for future academic challenges.
The majority leader charged participants to take the training seriously and avoid being unruly to their trainers.
He promised to give each of the participants a free laptop at the end of the training.
Mr Sulaiman Oyaremi, a Managing Partner of Telefonica Technology, the consultancy firm handling the training, said that the training would hold simultaneously in Lokoja and Koton Karfe, the headquarters of Kogi Local Government.
He said that the trainees will be exposed to latest development in ICT and commended Jibril for the initiative. (NAN)
