Uba Sani Rolls Out DigiTruck Initiative, Vows Equal Digital Access for Kaduna Students
Governor Uba Sani has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to expanding digital literacy and promoting innovation across Kaduna State, declaring that no child—whether in urban or rural communities—will be left behind in the digital revolution.
The governor made this known on Tuesday at the launch of the “Class Is Open Everywhere” DigiTruck Digital Skills Training Programme, an initiative designed to take technology-driven learning directly to secondary schools.
Represented by the Commissioner for Youth Development, Gloria Ibrahim, Sani stressed that access to technology and digital skills is no longer optional in today’s world.
“Access to technology and the right skills is no longer a luxury but a necessity,” he said, noting that Kaduna students must not only receive education but also be properly equipped for the future.
At the heart of the initiative is a fully equipped mobile digital classroom — the DigiTruck — which will travel to schools across the state, ensuring students can access hands-on technology training regardless of their location.
“Learning is being brought to the students instead of waiting for students to find learning.
It ensures that opportunity is not limited by location,” the governor said.
The programme will introduce participants to basic computing, artificial intelligence (AI) fundamentals, digital creativity and other essential 21st-century skills.
According to Sani, these competencies will shape employability, innovation and leadership in the years ahead.
During its stay in Kaduna State, the DigiTruck is expected to visit between 20 and 30 secondary schools across the state’s three zones, impacting more than 1,000 students.
“This means hundreds of young people will have their first real interaction with practical technology, and for many of them, this experience may shape their career paths,” the governor stated.
He expressed optimism that the exposure would ignite curiosity, build confidence and inspire students to see themselves not merely as technology users, but as creators and problem-solvers.
Encouraging active participation, Sani urged students to seize the opportunity.
“The future you are preparing for is already here, and this programme is opening the door for you to step into it,” he said.
