A non-governmental organisation, SHE-Technology for African Initiative (SHE-Tech) has begun a two-day training for 25 women on Information Technology communication (ICT) skills in Bauchi State.

The Chairperson of the group, Dr Fatma Zambuk, stated this at the inauguration of the training exercise on Tuesday in Bauchi.

She said the training was designed to expose the participants to simple techniques of digital applications for quality service delivery, adding that it would be a continuous exercise to promote participation in the programme.

Zambuk said the participants were drawn from the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), the Federation of Female Lawyers (FIDA) and Faith-Based Organisations in the state.

“ICT is paramount and core in our daily activities, especially now that the world has become a global village.

“The training will improve on existing innovations and foster creativity among women in their activities.

“It will expose the participants to using digital apps to enhance their productivity and add value to their work,” she said.

Zambuk who advocated for the inclusion of more girls in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) courses, said the organisation would hold a special session for the physically challenged persons for all-inclusive exercise.

In her remarks, Mrs Zainab Musa, Programme Coordinator, SHE-Tech, said that the programme was being implemented in partnership with Nigerian Women in Information and Technology.
