In his words: “The training programme, sponsored by the Cross River State Government, is the first of its kind by any public institution in Nigeria. It is designed by the Teachers Continuous Training Institute, Biase, to provide opportunities for participation in the digital space for global competitiveness and cross border employability.”

Prof. Adedoja, who urged trainees to put in their best in advancing their digital knowledge, informed that after the training, participants will sit for an examination for the award Global IC3 Digital Literacy Certificate.

Applauding the Governor Ben Ayade-led administration for birthing such a citadel of education in TCTI, Prof. Adedoja reiterated his Institute’s readiness to collaborate with relevant organizations in providing similar services at its Ultramodern Digital Literacy Centre.
