The Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Dr. Aminu Maida, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Nokia Solutions and Networks Nigeria.
The MoU aims to train young Nigerians on the latest 4G/5G radio and transmission technologies at the Nigerian Communications Commission’s Digital Parks.
Dr. Maida, accompanied by the Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijanni, signed the MoU earlier this week.
Under the agreement, Nokia Nigeria will establish a fully functional 5G/4G test lab, leveraging its latest radio and transmission technologies.
This collaboration, according to the NCC, aligns with its vision to enhance the capacity and skillset of Nigerians, equipping them with contemporary skills and knowledge needed to adapt to the rapidly evolving telecommunications industry.
The Commission stated that this development is in line with the Ministry of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy’s goal to drive digital literacy and build a pipeline of technical talent across Nigeria.
Additionally, Nokia Nigeria will implement an Entrepreneur Learning Programme, delivering high-quality vocational training to 200 Nigerian students selected from across the six geopolitical zones of the country.
