Unlocking Digital Opportunities in Nigeria: Google’s Impact Report.
In a country where as many as 2 in 5 live below the poverty line, digital solutions promise reduced financial, geographical and gender inequalities. It is therefore vital that everyone is given the opportunity to harness the benefits of technology and improve their standards of living.
In a recent report commissioned by Google, the digital landscape in Nigeria has been highlighted as a goldmine of opportunities for young people. The report reveals that for every $1 invested in digital technology in Nigeria, the economy gains $8. This remarkable return on investment underscores the potential for growth and success in the digital sector.

Africa’s growing technology ecosystem offers opportunities to create digital solutions that make traditional ways of working more productive while enabling the creation of new income streams and job opportunities. However, employers across the continent state that many job seekers do not possess the requisite digital skills, limiting employability prospects and business growth. The COVID-19 pandemic has also driven home the importance of digital tools and skills. In its wake, the most successful businesses were those whose operating model and employees could easily navigate the crisis and transition to digital service delivery.
As a company, we are committed to being helpful contributors to Africa’s growth. We aim to equip people with the right skills, tools and products to navigate the digital world and to make it work for them. We are committed to helping job seekers gain relevant skills and advance their careers. In 2017, we committed to prepare 10 million people for jobs of the future over five years. So far, we have trained +5M people in Digital Skills through our Grow with Google programs. With lockdowns and jobs at risk because of COVID-19, we saw year-on-year demand for our training increase by 185%.
