The rector, Yaba College of Technology, Dr. Ibraheem Abdul made this known at a five-day course design workshop on Girls Education Skills and Partnership (GESP) sponsored by UNICEF and Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) held at the college PTDF/CITM Computer laboratory with over 60 participants.

Abdul emphasized on the significance of the Girls’ Education Skills and Partnership project, which seeks to provide sustainable livelihood training for the girl child, necessary skills acquisition and having significant employment.

“Empowering our girls with ICT skills is not just about addressing the gender gap; it’s about equipping them with tools for a sustainable future, and we are committed to providing our students with the necessary skills to thrive in today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape.
