Tuesday, August 26, 2025 - The Professor Isa Pantami Foundation (PIP Foundation) has announced the launch of its third training programme, offering free training in phone repair and artificial intelligence (AI) to over 10,000 Nigerian youths.
The initiative is designed to equip participants with
practical, in-demand skills that promote self-reliance, entrepreneurship, and
vocational development. In a statement on Monday, Prof. Suleiman Mohammed of
the foundation said the programme aims to prepare Nigerians for opportunities
arising from the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
“AI and other emerging technologies are expected to create
170 million new jobs globally,” the statement read, citing data from the World
Economic Forum. “We must ensure that our citizens are prepared to benefit from
these opportunities.”
The foundation, established by Professor Isa Pantami, a
former Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, provides the training at
no cost, focusing on reducing unemployment and fostering innovation among
Nigerian youths.
A representative of the foundation emphasized the
programme’s broader goals, stating, “This initiative reflects Professor
Pantami’s unwavering commitment to lift communities through education and
technology. We are not just training individuals; we are building a future
where our youth can create opportunities for themselves and others.”
Applications for residents of Gombe State opened on Monday,
August 25, and will close on Sunday, August 31, 2025.
Training schedules for other states will be announced
subsequently, and interested candidates are encouraged to apply through the
foundation’s official portal.
The PIP Foundation has previously implemented initiatives,
including scholarships for JAMB and university students and various community
development projects, reinforcing its mission to enhance skills and
opportunities for Nigerians nationwide.
