Naija Girls in Tech Set for Maiden Female Training
Naija Girls in Tech (NGiT), a social impact initiative committed to closing the gender gap in technology across Nigeria and Africa, has opened applications for its 2026 Global Student Ambassador Programme.
Targeted at recruiting 150 female student ambassadors from universities, polytechnics and collegesof education across Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, the selected ambassadors will lead digital literacy campaigns, community initiatives and technology advocacy projects within their campuses and localcommunities.
With Nigeria home to one of Africa’s fastest-growing youth populations and a persistent gender gap in technology education and employment, the NGiT Ambassador Programme was created to build a nationwide network of young women driving inclusion, leadership and innovation from the grassroots level.
Uswat Abdullateef,Head of Partnership and Growth, Naija Girls in Tech, said: “We have seen what happens when one determined young woman decides her campus will not be left behind in the digital economy. She becomes a multiplier. Our Ambassador Programme is designed to identify 150 of those multipliers and equip them with the resources, mentorship and platform needed to create lasting impact in their communities.”
