The Digital Bridge Institute (DBI), under the leadership of its President/CEO, Mr. Daser David, has signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction and SBTS Group LLC. The signing ceremony was held at the office of the Honourable Minister, Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, in Abuja.

This strategic partnership is set to drive large-scale capacity building under the Federal Government’s National NPower Program. The initiative is geared toward promoting digital literacy, employability, and job creation for Nigerian youths and vulnerable populations, aligning closely with the government’s poverty reduction and economic inclusion agenda.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Daser David reiterated DBI’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge ICT training across its campuses nationwide. “This collaboration underscores our mission to bridge the digital divide and build a competent workforce ready for the challenges of the digital economy,” he said.

Under this MOU:

The Ministry will provide policy support, facilitate trainee enrolment, and officially integrate the program into NPower.

SBTS Group will deploy its Intelligent Capacity Building Model (ICBM) and drive job placements through its extensive corporate networks.

DBI will offer high-quality training through its seasoned faculty and advanced facilities.

A Joint Steering Committee will be established to oversee implementation, monitor progress, and ensure measurable and scalable impact.

This partnership marks a significant leap in empowering Nigeria’s youth with globally competitive digital skills and creating tangible pathways to employment and entrepreneurship.
