President Bola Tinubu has stated the Federal Government of Nigeria's desire to assist global tech giant Google Incorporated in creating one million digital employment in Nigeria.
According to a statement issued by the President's Special Adviser on Special Duties, Communications, and Strategy, Dele Alake, the President offered the assurance on Friday at the State House during the visit of Google Global Vice President, Richard Gingras.
Tinubu told the visiting Google executive that Nigeria had creative and intelligent young people who were eager to learn, especially in this digital age.
He claimed that the tech behemoth possessed the capabilities and tools that young people required to succeed.
"I am delighted that Google is willing to collaborate with us," he says. You have responded to our request for digital innovation and assistance for our youth. You are assisting us in our efforts to promote the digital economy. We are eager to collaborate with you on your pledge to create one million digital employment in Nigeria.
"We will provide you with all of the assistance you require to have a beneficial corporate responsibility." We have begun, albeit slowly, our economic reforms."
