STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

FG’s 1 MILLION DIGITAL JOBS: VP SHETTIMA LAUDS GOOGLE’S N1.2BN GRANT INITIATIVE

- Receives company’s executives at Presidential Villa

- “it’s time to think outside the box, create more job opportunities for Nigerians”

The Vice President, Sen. Kashim Shettima has lauded Google’s N1.2 billion grant initiative for the Tinubu administration’s 1 million jobs scheme.

The Vice President stated this today when he received in audience some executives of Google – a leading global technology company, at the Presidential Villa.

According to the Vice President, the announcement of a grant of N1.2 billion to support the Tinubu administration’s digital jobs initiative was commendable and worthy of emulation by other companies.

“Let’s think outside the box and create more job opportunities. We need to walk the talk. It is easy to pontificate but very difficult to bring all of the ideas to fruition. I want to assure you, this administration is ready to partner with you.

“Nigeria is ready for business. The President that we have now wants to leave a legacy that Nigerians will be proud of many years after,” the VP explained.

Speaking about the potentials of Nigeria’s young population, Sen. Shettima said “we have a unique opportunity to harness the potentials of our huge youth population to create millions of jobs in the digital sector.

“We have more English-speaking people than many countries in Africa and beyond. We missed the agricultural age, we missed the industrial age and we are now in the knowledge-driven post-industrial age. We have the potential and a unique opportunity to fill the anticipated global talent deficit.”

“Access Bank is doing a lot in terms of digital skills, training 1000 youths in digital skills to create employment opportunities. We are working with Wema Bank, the Bank of Industry and other partners on this project. We are willing to partner with Google, we will work closely with you for the good of our nation,” he added.

Earlier in his remark, the Director of Google West Africa, Mr Olumide Balogun said the company was excited about the Tinubu administration’s vision of creating one million digital jobs and was committing over N1.2 billion in grants to support the initiative.

He said the company through the programme would provide digital skills to over 20,000 youths and women to enhance and improve their lives and livelihoods, and also enable several startups grow and create thousands of jobs in the sector.

On his part, Google Africa’s Director of Government Relations and Public Policy, Mr Charles Murito, said the company remains committed to investing in digital infrastructure across Africa, noting that digital transformation in the continent can be the driver of the targeted technology jobs.

He spoke about the potential in Africa, noting that “Google cannot achieve its vision and objectives if it doesn’t cover Nigeria effectively.”

The Google initiative is designed to train 20,000 Nigerian women and youth in digital skills. The programme is facilitated through a grant from Google's philanthropic arm to “Mind the Gap” in partnership with Data Science Nigeria and the Creative Industry Initiative for Africa. This initiative aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s administration's commitment to increasing the participation of young Nigerians in the digital economy by creating 1 million digital jobs.

The delegation from Google also includes, Programme Manager, Google Africa, Ms Oluwatamilore Oni; the Government Affairs and Public Policy Manager, Mr Adewolu Adene and Communications and Public Affairs Manager for Google West Africa, Mr Taiwo Kola-Ogunlade, among others.

As a follow up to our decision to offer free antenatal services and free birth deliveries for women at the State’s General Hospitals to help cushion the effect of the current economic situation, I paid an unscheduled visit to the Lagos Island Maternity Hospital this evening, for an on the spot assessment on how effective the medical palliative care is being implemented

Healthcare is very critical, and we must do everything to ensure it is available at the best level for everyone.

I also made an unscheduled visit to the General Hospital, Odan to do on-the-spot assessment of the level of facilities at the hospital and the medical quarters, with a view to determining the level of intervention needed

As part of our THEMES + agenda, we have made major strides across different levels of healthcare in Lagos, with major interventions still planned to support continued improvement.

Together, we're committed to building a healthier and safer future.

The Governor moved to Lagos Island Hospital, Odan, where he personally took an audit of facilities in the 10-storey Doctor’s Quarters.

Governor @jidesanwoolu conducted on-the-spot assessment of apartments, stores, and power supply system in the quarters. He was led by representative of the House Officers, Dr. Segun Ogunlana.
