Harnessing Tech Skills with the Code Plateau Initiative – The Hub Podcast
Harnessing Tech Skills with the Code Plateau Initiative
The conversation about acquiring technological skills has been around for a while. This is a result of Nigeria's unemployment rate rising to 33.3% in the fourth quarter of 2021, according to a report published by the National Bureau of Statistics.
These skills have proven to be effective in the labour market as they have provided the opportunity for people to work remotely and otherwise. For this reason, Code Plateau has been on a mission to build capacity, providing the Plateau youth with relevant technology skills and employment opportunities.
Speaking on this week's episode of The Hub Podcast, the Director General of the Plateau Information and Communications Technology and Development Agency (PICTDA) talks about his tireless efforts to give back to the state by empowering the new generation. It is a story of passion, gratitude and giant leaps of faith.
Stories are a communal currency of humanity. One that begins and ends with a man.
Some of these stories become memories when we are no more, thus, it is safe to great stories happen to those who can tell them.
In the past years, many men have heard their stories told by them. Some stories have also been told by friends and some, family.
The story about Goodness Ezeokafor, a software developer and engineer is a peculiar one.
