Dr. Aminu Maida, the Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and the Honourable Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Nokia Solutions and Networks Nigeria earlier this week.
This was disclosed earlier this week by the EVC on his X handle that Nokia Nigeria would be setting up a fully functional 5G/4G test lab, leveraging their latest radio and transmission technologies.
According to Maida, the collaboration will train young Nigerians on latest 4G/ 5G radio and transmission technologies at the Nigerian Communications Commission’s Digital Parks.
“This collaboration advances the vision to enhance the capacity and skills-set of Nigerians, by equipping them with contemporary skills and knowledge needed to adapt to the evolving telecommunications
industry.”, Maida said
In tune with the Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy’s goal to drive digital literacy and build a pipeline of technical talents across Nigeria, Nokia Nigeria would also set up an Entrepreneur Learning Programme where it would deliver high-quality vocational training to 200 Nigerian students chosen from across the six geo-political zones of Nigeria.
