Nigeria’s National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has launched the National Digital Literacy Dashboard to track digital literacy initiatives, strengthen coordination among training providers and support data-driven policy decisions.
Over the past three years, the dashboard has recorded 2,769,512 reported digital literacy training achievements from 252 active reporting organisations. Its coverage spans all 774 local government areas and 14,664 communities across Nigeria.
Cisco accounts for the largest share of reported training achievements, with 1,073,604. NITDA follows with 960,424, while Meta Platforms Inc. has reported 333,816. Other contributors include Imo Digital City Limited, the Sokoto State Ministry of Innovation and Digital Economy, the Bureau for ICT and Digital Economy, digital development agencies in Jigawa, Kaduna and Zamfara states, and the Centre for Information Technology and Development (CITAD).
The dashboard is designed to help authorities identify underserved areas, reduce duplication of training efforts and allocate resources more effectively. By consolidating submissions from participating organisations, it provides a centralised view of the reach and progress of digital literacy programmes nationwide.
The launch supports Nigeria’s digital literacy targets of reaching 70% literacy by 2027 and 95% by 2030. These objectives form part of the country’s wider digital development agenda, which prioritises expanding digital skills and encouraging technology adoption across sectors.
The platform also provides a mechanism for monitoring progress and coordinating contributions from government agencies, private-sector companies and other digital development organisations. The reported figures reflect training achievements submitted through the dashboard and offer an indication of programme activity across the country.
