Problem Statement

According to Statista, about 70% of households lacked a computer. This implies that:

Limited access to personal laptops impedes talented individuals, especially those with financial constraints, from acquiring crucial digital and IT skills.

78% of the Nigerian population faces challenges in accessing formal training programs and resources, creating a disparity in developing essential digital competencies required by the evolving job market.

The gap between the demand for skilled IT professionals and the limited opportunities for individuals without access to laptops and essential digital skills hinders the creation of a more inclusive and digitally empowered society.
