At FiguresHub Africa, we believe the future of the continent depends on the digital empowerment of its youth. That is why we are excited to share that our co-founder, Vincent Didanda, was recently featured in The Guardian Nigeria calling for urgent and coordinated action to bridge Africa’s growing digital divide.
With Africa set to host 42% of the world’s youth by 2030, Vincent’s message was clear: the time to act is now.
“They don’t lack ambition; they lack access.”
— Vincent Didanda, Co-founder, FiguresHub Africa
In the article, Vincent highlights how millions of African youths are being left behind as the world rapidly advances into the Fourth Industrial Revolution; and how FiguresHub Africa is stepping in with practical, job-ready training in Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, Flutter Development, Machine Learning, and more.
The feature explores:
- Our work with beginners and job-seekers across Nigeria and the diaspora
- How we walk learners from zero to job-ready
- Our call to governments, donor agencies, and partners to collaborate on a continent-wide digital empowerment mission
“Africa’s future depends on the youth empowered today.”
