The rise of technology in Nigeria has also been recognized internationally. Nigeria is the largest market in Africa for Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of the internet social networking site, Facebook, was in Lagos and Abuja for 3 days to visit with entrepreneurs and developers, to explore how lives have been and still are, positively transformed with the use of technology across Nigeria. During his visit, he gave examples of how technology is changing the business, education and economic landscape by creating opportunities for the youth. He noted that there are incredible advancements with children between the ages of 9 and 13 having access to learn the basics of coding, app development, and website design and graphics design. The growth of Nigeria is being accelerated with each and every technological advance, and Zuckerberg’s recognition of the Nigerian start-up scene and other African tech industries demonstrates that there’s exciting development.
In Nigeria, public and private schools have embraced technology as a game changer, through the use of internet-enabled devices to make reading, writing and learning fun, exciting and a remarkable experience for both the teachers and the students. Teachers now have access to relevant teaching materials from other developed parts of the world which can be adopted and adapted. It is not uncommon to find teachers and students in both private and public schools demonstrate exceptional skill with the latest tech-enabled gadgets that they can lay their hands on. Parents are eager to enroll their children in summer camps at the CCHUB (Co-Creation Hub): “a social innovation center dedicated to accelerating the application of social capital and technology for economic prosperity.” Here they learn basic knowledge on coding, app development, web and graphic design. Most schools are now fully equipped to give children a solid head start in the use and application of A to Z software and apps to enhance their education and explore the limitless wonders that technology has to offer.
