Remi Tinubu Expands Renewed Hope Initiative with 10 New Tech Hubs for Youths

Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has reaffirmed her commitment to youth empowerment through education with the commissioning of ten new Digital Learning Centres across the country.

According to a statement shared on X by the Presidency on Wednesday, the initiative—implemented under the Renewed Hope Initiative—aims to “equip young Nigerians with the tools and knowledge needed to thrive in a digital world.”

Speaking during the virtual inauguration held at the State House, Abuja, Senator Tinubu said the project reflects her husband, President Bola Tinubu’s, vision of creating an enabling environment that nurtures the creativity and potential of Nigeria’s youth. She urged young people to embrace hard work, diligence, unity, and compassion as they build a better future for themselves and the nation.

The newly commissioned Digital Learning Centres are located in Abia, Delta, Edo, Kano, Katsina, Lagos, Nasarawa, Ondo, Yobe, and Zamfara States. The project, executed in collaboration with the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), seeks to promote technological literacy and close the gap between education and employability.

Senator Tinubu emphasized that the initiative goes beyond providing computers and internet access, explaining that it focuses on “nurturing creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship among Nigeria’s youth.”

She noted that the project aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s developmental agenda and supports the Federal Government’s efforts to build a knowledge-driven economy where “every child, regardless of background or location, has access to quality digital learning opportunities.”

“Through the Renewed Hope Initiative, we are ensuring that no community is left behind in Nigeria’s digital transformation journey,” the First Lady added.

She stressed that the Digital Learning Project underscores the government’s commitment to inclusive growth and human capital development by empowering students and communities—especially in underserved areas—to fully participate in the digital age.
