Nigeria’s National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) completed digital-skills training for 50 people with disabilities in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, on January 20, 2026.
The two-day programme ran on January 19–20 under the agency’s Digital Literacy for All initiative. Partner organisation Inclusive Friends Association announced those dates, and contemporaneous reporting confirmed the training had concluded.
Okay News reports that NITDA credited the Inclusive Friends Association and training partner SIMBED with helping participants develop practical digital skills.
NITDA Director-General Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi said inaccessible websites, content without captions and platforms that did not support assistive technology restricted access to digital services.
“In many cases, the problem is not the absence of digital tools but the lack of accessibility,” he said.
At the time, NITDA said its informal-sector digital-literacy programme had trained more than 480,000 people across 30 states and the Federal Capital Territory since September 2024.
Inclusive Friends Association Executive Director Grace Jerry, represented by Tracy Agbamu, encouraged participants to apply their training and support digital inclusion in their communities.
