Nigeria is a country rich in talent, creativity, and opportunity. Yet, many individuals and businesses continue to face persistent challenges such as unemployment, low digital literacy, data limitations, cybersecurity risks, and a growing mismatch between skills and available jobs. At Inwebtify, we believe technology can play a powerful role in addressing these issues, when it is built with purpose, context, and impact in mind.
On October 2nd, 2021, Inwebtify hosting a knowledge-driven session titled “Building Digital Tools That Solve Nigeria’s Challenges” at LT ART, Ekiti State University. The event brought together students, tech enthusiasts, and professionals to explore how digital innovation can be used as a practical solution to real societal problems.
Why This Conversation Matters
Nigeria’s challenges are not abstract they affect everyday lives.
-
Unemployment continues to limit opportunities for young people
-
Digital illiteracy slows adoption of modern tools
-
Data shortages affect decision-making and innovation
-
Cybersecurity threats put businesses and users at risk
