This initiative is part of a broader effort of the Chairman to equip the local government employees with essential digital skills, ensuring they are better prepared to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
The partnership was initiated following a recent visit by the Chairman of Akure South Local Government to TEHUB Africa’s state-of-the-art facilities, Impressed by the institute’s comprehensive range of services and its commitment to empowering individuals through technology and vocational training.
The training program is expected to cover foundational IT skills, enabling participants to improve their efficiency, enhance service delivery, and contribute to the local government’s digital transformation goals.
This initiative is a step towards digital literacy and also a testament to the growing recognition of the importance of technology in public administration. By equipping government staff with essential IT skills, Akure South Local Government is laying the foundation for more efficient and responsive governance.
The collaboration between TEHUB Africa and the local government is expected to serve as a model for other government bodies in the region, highlighting the critical role of public-private partnerships in driving development and innovation.
It is anticipated that the newly acquired skills will have a ripple effect in improving the operational efficiency of the local government and also setting a precedent for future capacity-building initiatives in the area.
