Similarly, the Head of Brand Reputation, Google Nigeria, Mr. Mojolaoluwa Aderemi-Makinde, said, “We are excited to collaborate with NITDA to empower MSMEs to plan their digital marketing strategies, create business growth plans, identify new markets, access funding opportunities and pitch success”.

A statement jointly signed by NITDA’s Head, Corporate Affairs and External Relations, Mrs Hadiza Umar and  Head of Brand Reputation, Google Nigeria, Mr. Mojolaoluwa Aderemi-Makinde noted that the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises sector is a backbone for economic growth and a major provider of employment opportunities in a country.

According to the National Bureau for Statistics, SMEs have contributed about 48% to Nigeria’s GDP in the last five years. However, despite this significant contribution to Nigeria’s economy, challenges persist that hinder the growth and development of the sector. These include inadequate understanding on how to leverage digital tools for business growth, poor planning and management skills. To address these challenges, NITDA has embarked on several initiatives to upskill and reskill Nigerians across all walks of life in line with the national agenda for a digital economy – the National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy for a Digital Nigeria (NDEPS).

In furtherance to provide massive employment opportunities through digital skills, NITDA has kick started an ambitious project to train one million software developers in the country. Therefore, the NITDA-Google Hustle Academy Bootcamp will enable MSMEs to maximize their potentials and key into existing opportunities for socio-economic development.

To ensure smooth and successful programme implementation, the Academy laid out eligibility criteria for entry into the Bootcamp  to include:

  • Business Maturity: MSMEs with an existing business plan, with defined product/service offering and willing to scale up;
  • Size of Operations: Businesses that have at least two full time employees and have been operating for over twelve months; and
  • Revenue generated: Businesses that have generated profit in the last 12 months or 1-3 months away from break even.
