Centre trains 139 students in digital, STEM skills

The 23rd set of the Centre for Leadership, Strategy and Development (Centre LSD) has empowered 139 secondary school students with digital skills, social media education, online safety, and data protection.

This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday by Dr Lasisi Lawal, an Associate Professor at Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, and a fellow of Set 23 of Centre LSD.

Lawal explained that the training, conducted at Government Secondary School, Life Camp, Abuja, aimed to promote digital responsibility and spark interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) careers among Nigerian youth.

The initiative, he said, aligned with Centre LSD’s broader mission to promote strategic leadership, sustainable development, and good governance in Africa.

“By fostering digital awareness and STEM aspirations among Nigerian students, the Centre continues to nurture a new generation of leaders prepared to solve Africa’s challenges through innovation, integrity, and strategic thinking.

“It is our hope that this engagement has sown seeds that will inspire many of these students to pursue meaningful careers in STEM.

“This is especially important as STEM jobs are projected to grow by 8.8 per cent by 2028, significantly outpacing non-STEM roles in this Fifth Industrial Revolution era,” Lawal said.

Also speaking at the event, Mrs Ebenezer Chris highlighted the vision behind the project.

“Our goal was not just to talk about digital literacy, but to awaken the curiosity of these young minds toward future-ready careers in STEM and the importance of protecting their digital identities.

“We believe in leadership that transforms communities, and education is at the heart of that transformation,” she said.

The school principal, Mr Abubakar Ajayi, expressed gratitude to Centre LSD and its 23rd set of fellows.

“This training couldn’t have come at a better time. Our students are daily exposed to the digital world, and this workshop has empowered them to be safer, smarter, and more aspirational.

“We are also deeply grateful for the donation of writing materials,” he said.

Students also shared their experiences. Blessing Adeyemi, an SS2 student, said, “I now understand that what I post online can affect my future.

“I also learned about careers in technology I didn’t know before. The writing materials were an extra motivation.”

Franca Ekpe added, “Engineering is vital to daily life. The best way to predict the future is by inventing, and that starts with being innovative.”

The workshop featured interactive sessions and practical demonstrations, equipping students with digital literacy and exposing them to promising career paths in STEM.(NAN)
