The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Nokia Solutions and Networks Nigeria, to train young Nigerians on latest 4G/5G radio and transmission technologies at NCC’s Digital Parks.

The MoU, signed by NCC Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive, Dr. Aminu Maida, was one of the highlights of the two-day visit to Finland, earlier this week, led by the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijanni.

Giving a peep into the MoU, Dr, Maida said in a post on his verified X handle yesterday, May 9, 2024: “Nokia Nigeria would be setting up a fully functional 5G/4G test lab, leveraging their latest radio and transmission technologies.

“This collaboration advances the vision to enhance the capacity and skills-set of Nigerians, by equipping them with contemporary skills and knowledge needed to adapt to the rapidly evolving telecommunications industry.

“In tune with the Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy’s goal to drive digital literacy and build a pipeline of technical talents across Nigeria, Nokia Nigeria would also set up an Entrepreneur Learning Programme where it would deliver high-quality vocational trainings to 200 Nigerian students chosen from across the six geo political zones of Nigeria.”
