More than 85 per cent of Nigeria’s graduates have no digital skills, a survey by GetBundi, an online education technology outfit, has shown.
VerseNews reports that the outcome of the survey, according to Osita Oparaugo, the Chief Executive Officer of the outfit, shows that more than 100 million young people are not prepared to take up good job opportunities that require such modern skills.
“There is an overwhelming digital skills gap that has been linked to the high unemployment rate in Nigeria.
“The lack of digital skills has been named as a major reason why many graduates produced yearly from the country’s tertiary institutions are unable to secure employment in the labour market,” he pointed out in a statement in Lagos.
