The board and management of Igala – Bassa Development Initiative (IBDI) have promised to continue to work to develop digital infrastructure, provide digital skills training, and create equitable opportunities for youths from the eastern flank of Kogi state, no matter where they are.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Head, Youth Development for IBDI, Amb. Michael Achor Joshua.
IBDI congratulated the resilient youths of Igala – Bassa in celebration of the International Youth day.
He said the digital infrastructure development forms part of the thematic focused area for the development of Igala-Bassa.
“As we are all aware, the youths of Igala -Bassa forms the largest demographic of users and developers shaping digital trends globally. As the 2030 deadline for the SDGs approaches, youth remain an essential demographic group in leveraging the transformative power of technologies to address global challenges.
“In recent years, we have witnessed how digital transformation has profoundly impacted various aspects of life, from education and food security, health, to employment opportunities. However, we also recognize that significant challenges remain, especially for our brothers and sisters in remote areas who may not fully experience the benefits of this transformation,” the statement read.
IBID urged youths to work together, with a burning passion, and step into a brighter future where digitalisation is not just a tool but a bridge that connects to a sustainable future.
