Kwara Coding and Digital Literacy Programme Records Major Progress in Week Seven Activities

The Kwara Coding and Digital Literacy Programme continued its impressive trajectory in Week Seven of the Third Term, with participants across various centres advancing their digital and technical competencies through practical, industry-relevant training sessions.

The programme, designed to equip young Kwarans with essential digital skills, saw students deepen their understanding of emerging technologies, particularly in the ethical and effective use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools. Participants also expanded their knowledge of programming through lessons on Python fundamentals, while continuing their studies in cybersecurity and digital safety.

As part of the week’s activities, students received further training on key cybersecurity concepts, including Multifactor Authentication (MFA), Python modules, and other foundational digital security practices. These lessons are aimed at fostering responsible digital citizenship and strengthening participants’ awareness of online safety in an increasingly connected world.

A significant highlight of the week was the Instructors’ Engagement Meeting, which brought together instructors, technical personnel, and key stakeholders to assess the programme’s progress. The meeting provided an opportunity to review achievements, share updates, identify challenges, and develop strategies to enhance programme delivery across all participating centres.

Also held during the week was the Needs Assessment Call, a vital exercise designed to gather reports on operational needs, manpower requirements, technical challenges, and other issues affecting training activities. The initiative is expected to strengthen coordination efforts and ensure the smooth implementation of the programme.

Meanwhile, the programme’s Training of Trainers (ToT) sessions continued as scheduled, reinforcing the capacity of instructors and ensuring the consistent delivery of quality digital education across centres.

The sustained momentum of the programme reflects the Kwara State Government’s commitment to empowering young people with the skills required to thrive in the digital economy. Through practical learning experiences and continuous support structures, the initiative continues to provide opportunities for participants irrespective of their background or location.

Participants, instructors, technical teams, and programme coordinators have continued to express appreciation to the Governor of Kwara State, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, for his unwavering support and commitment to expanding access to digital education and creating opportunities for young Kwarans to compete and succeed in the global technology ecosystem.
