The importance of storytelling in building an ecosystem and how the media plays a critical role in connecting society to available solutions and their providers cannot be overemphasized.
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.
In today’s episode of the podcast, we discuss the role of communicators and the communication strategies needed for business growth in Northern Nigeria with tech journalist, Johnstone Kpilaaka who shares his experience in dealing with startups and tech companies that have little to no communication skills, and explains the need for effective PR in every business.
“If you don’t tell your story, someone else will tell it and may not tell it the way it should be told,” Kpilaaka says.
