Tech firm, NanoEdge, pledges bridge of Africa’s digital divide

A technological education company based in Nigeria, NanoEdge, has pledged to empower the African Workforce with digital skills training by empowering learners with job-ready skills that facilitate career growth.

Managing Director of the company, Engr. Bona Akubue who spoke to newsmen in Enugu, said that the tech education company has been recognized as one of the best platforms in Nigeria for learning essential technology skills.

Akubue stressed that the company, renowned for its strong commitment to equipping individuals with in-demand digital expertise, provides a range of self-paced and hybrid courses tailored for beginners and professionals alike.

He said the company focuses on education and learning because it wants Nigeria to be on the world map as one of the tech countries across the globe.

According to him, “NanoEdge offers an innovative learning experience designed to empower individuals with skills in Python programming, data analytics, networking, cybersecurity, and essential digital skills.”

“Through a flexible curriculum that caters to different learning styles, we have successfully trained thousands of students, helping them transit into high-paying tech careers. NanoEdge’s impact extends beyond education; the platform also provides mentorship, real-world projects, and career support to ensure learners gain hands-on experience and job readiness.”

“Our tech-driven approach, coupled with expert-led training, makes us a go-to destination for anyone looking to break into the tech industry.”

Engr. Akubue also noted that they offer numerous courses on information, communication, and technology, which give students and clients opportunities to make their choice.

Looking ahead, Akubue disclosed that NanoEdge plans to introduce 12 new courses in 2025, with determination to significantly impact Africa’s digital education landscape.

“As more organizations adopt cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and big data solutions, the demand for skilled professionals will continue to rise. NanoEdge is committed to equipping individuals with the expertise they need to excel in these fields.

“By empowering learners with job-ready skills and facilitating career growth, NanoEdge is playing a pivotal role in shaping Africa’s future workforce. As digital transformation accelerates, initiatives like NanoEdge are proving to be instrumental in driving economic growth and creating a more skilled and competitive workforce across the continent,” Akubue said.

He maintained that as the global demand for digital skills surges, African businesses and individuals are actively seeking avenues to bridge the growing talent gap which made NanoEdge, a leading digital education provider, to step up to the challenge, equipping thousands of learners with in-demand tech skills to thrive in today’s evolving job market.

Akubue regretted that according to the 2023 World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs report, 60 percent of organizations cite skills gaps as a key barrier to industry transformation, with 53 percent struggling to attract talent; while over 75 percent of organizations plan to adopt technologies like big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence by 2027, creating approximately 2.6 million new jobs.

“However, the lack of skilled talent remains a pressing concern. NanoEdge is actively working to close this gap by providing industry-aligned courses in essential digital skills. The company has already trained thousands of learners across Africa and is on track to expand its course offerings significantly in 2025.”

He said that unlike the traditional education models that require significant financial investment, NanoEdge makes quality education accessible through flexible, online learning.
