Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, commissioned the Lucy Zayol Aluor Community Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Centre in Vandeikya, Benue State, in June 2026.
The centre was established in partnership with the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) to expand access to digital education and technology training, particularly among young people and women.
The initiative is designed to bridge the digital divide by providing beneficiaries with opportunities to acquire essential digital skills, improve their technological knowledge and participate more effectively in the growing digital economy.
Through the facility, young people and women in the community are expected to benefit from digital literacy programmes and practical technology training that can support their education, entrepreneurship and employment opportunities.
The establishment of the ICT centre also reflects ongoing efforts to promote digital inclusion and ensure that underserved communities have access to modern technological resources.
By expanding access to digital learning facilities, the initiative seeks to empower more Nigerians with relevant skills needed to participate in an increasingly technology-driven society.
The project forms part of broader efforts to encourage digital literacy, strengthen human capacity and create more opportunities for women and young people across the country.
