Tech Innovations That Can Help Tackle Youth Unemployment In Nigeria by Revolva(m): 5:24pm On Apr 18, 2019 |
High unemployment, especially among the youths, has negative consequences on the economy of the country and population. Finding the right solution to this problem isn’t an easy thing to do. It requires the cooperation and contribution of everyone. Fortunately, technology may be able to provide some solutions. Here are some tech innovations that can help tackle youth unemployment in Nigeria. Investment in IT infrastructure Good technology infrastructure is the most important requirement for any technology-based solution. It is crucial to invest more in good internet connection, computer and mobile equipment, and other IT-related supports. All these can be harnessed to train and retrain young Nigerians on relevant digital skills. Technology in schools The importance of technology in African schools and universities is central. Many local schools have poor access to computers and the Internet. It is significant to integrate technology into school curricula. Technology is evolving rapidly and the demand for digitally skilled workforce will continue to grow in the future. Technology skilled workers have less trouble finding the right job or taking advantage of business opportunities in Nigeria and beyond. eCommerce eCommerce has grown significantly over the years in Nigeria. It was ably pioneered by Jumia, Nigeria's no 1 shopping destination. The eCommerce platform has empowered many entrepreneurs by connecting them with millions of consumers across Nigeria and they are able to earn a living. Beyond this, many young Nigerians have seized the opportunities presented by the ecommerce . Using mobile technology Fighting youth unemployment with mobile phones sounds like a questionable approach. However, mobile technology could be the right solution. The power of mobile technology is often underrated. You just need a mobile phone with a sim card and it can be used to connect employers and job seekers via SMS. Unemployed individuals would receive an SMS notification about available jobs and they could reply by sending their skills and experience. Online education E-learning platforms are one of the most popular forms of education today. Studying has never been easier and accessible. It provides access to quality study materials in the world. There are unlimited resources for free training materials on the internet. You just need an internet connection and a computer. You can leverage this to hone your skills and use it to apply for available jobs. http://giditechlab.com/tech-innovations-that-can-help-tackle-youth-unemployment-in-nigeria/ 1 Like 1 Share

In a country where police treat youths in possession of high end devices and laptops as criminals how do we expect to grow the tech industry? Nigerian police don't believe or understand that there are several legal opportunities online to explore to tackle the serious unemployment, every thing related to computers and internet to them is fraud. Until the government reorientate or educate those illiterates harassing the citizens, we will remain behind in technology 30 Likes 3 Shares |

The only valid point here is the last one! Until youths step up to whats up now they and their certificates would simply waste away! A friend didnt spend a month looking for a job after nysc. I wasnt surprised coz guy spent last 2-3years learning and practising programming. 2 Likes |

Ejimagifty: Let me tell you a story. A guy was a thug during his secondary school days. He stole his mother's money in my present when I visited the school day. The dad was a mopol. A after so trials and failed attempt to make this dude useful, they dumped him in the police force. What do you think will happen to him people he was employed to protect? Your guess is as good as mine. 4 Likes |

Nonsense. Crap, crap, crap. Nothing new or innovative about this article. All these have been existing before. You could have mentioned in-demand tech skills, freelancing websites that allow youths to work remotely, tech skills that can be acquired on a smartphone, etc. |
