Nigeria’s National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) discussed a proposed digital-training partnership with the National Association of Women in Colleges of Education (WICE), according to an account published on August 10, 2026.
The talks took place during a delegation’s visit to the agency in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital. The proposed programme would focus on women educators and students in teacher-training institutions.
Okay News reports that NITDA Director-General Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi said the agency had developed digital-literacy curricula and training materials for colleges and was seeking to support their use, according to NITDA.
He suggested adapting elements of its IgniteHer programme, which covers digital literacy, marketing and business development, for teachers. He also called for greater female participation in science and technology fields.
WICE’s North-West zonal coordinator, Zainab Inuwa Adamu, proposed a nationwide programme that could begin at the association’s national conference before extending to colleges across Nigeria.
NITDA said the proposal would combine WICE’s regional network with the agency’s training resources.
The agency’s account described the partnership as under discussion. The delegation also invited Inuwa to support its planned conference at the Federal College of Education (Technical), Bichi, in Kano State, northern Nigeria.
