The President/CEO, Digital Bridge Institute, DBI, Prof. Mohammed Ajiya on Friday said that the Advanced Digital Appreciation Programme for Tertiary Institutions, ADAPTI, in Nigeria has led to the digital upskilling of over 100,000 staff of tertiary institutions in the country.

ADAPTI is the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC’s, intervention in the empowerment of Nigerians on digital literacy.

Prof.  Ajiya disclosed this while attending the closing ceremony of ADAPTI at the NILE University campus, Abuja following a successful training of some teaching and non- teaching staff of the university by the DBI resource persons.

He appreciated the support of the NCC under the leadership of Prof Umar Garba Danbatta, the Executive Vice Chairman and CEO.

He encouraged the trainees to apply the knowledge and skills acquired from the training in their work environment, and thus become good ambassadors of DBI.

Speaking at the ceremony,  the Vice Chancellor of Nile University of Nigeria, Prof Dilli Dogo, specifically thanked the NCC and DBI for the laudable ADAPTI programme  brought to the University to equip teaching and non-teaching staff with digital skills needed in the University environment.
