Nigeria has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the UAE Digital School to expand access to digital education and practical skill development for millions of young Nigerians.
The agreement was signed by the Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, and the school, led by Dr. Waleed Al Ali, under the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI).
Signed in Dubai, the partnership marked a major milestone in Nigeria’s commitment to preparing its youth for active participation in the global digital economy, according to a statement by the Ministry.
The development followed an earlier engagement held in July 2025 with key UAE government officials and development partners.
According to the Minister, the partnership represents more than a signed document; it is a promise to equip young Nigerians with the knowledge, tools, and opportunities they need to thrive in today’s fast-changing digital world.
He described the collaboration as a symbol of shared responsibility, shared progress, and shared hope between both nations.
