Dr. Aminu Maida, the Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), has recently entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Nokia Solutions and Networks Nigeria. The aim of this partnership is to offer training to young Nigerians on the most up-to-date 4G/5G radio and transmission technologies at the Nigerian Communications Commission’s Digital Parks.
The signing of the MoU took place earlier this week with the EVC leading the way alongside the Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijanni.
Under the terms of the agreement, Nokia Nigeria will establish a fully operational 5G/4G test lab, utilizing their advanced radio and transmission technologies.
This collaboration represents NCC’s commitment to enhancing the capabilities and skillsets of Nigerians, ensuring they have the contemporary skills and knowledge necessary to adapt to the continuously evolving telecommunications industry.
The Commission highlighted that this initiative aligns with the Ministry of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy’s objective to promote digital literacy and cultivate a pool of technical talents nationwide.
Nokia Nigeria will further introduce an Entrepreneur Learning Programme designed to provide top-notch vocational training to 200 Nigerian students selected from all six geopolitical zones of the country.
