In a bold move to empower Nigerian youths and bridge the widening digital divide, Otapay, a leading bill payment platform in Nigeria, has partnered with Pulseford, a top-rated digital marketing agency and training institute, to launch a transformative initiative aimed at training 5,000 Nigerians in essential digital skills.
This initiative reflects Otapay’s commitment to giving back to society. According to Ikechukwu Mbadiwe, the Founder of Otapay, the company is committed to donating 15% of its net profit to empower and develop neglected communities across Nigeria particularly in areas of education, health, and technology.
Why This Initiative Matters
Nigeria’s youth population is one of the largest in Africa. Yet, millions of young people remain unemployed or underemployed due to a lack of market-ready skills. In today’s fast-paced digital economy, having strong digital competencies can be the key to unlocking global job opportunities and financial independence.
Otapay believes that no one should be left behind in the digital age. By teaming up with Pulseford, a company known for its innovation and hands-on digital training programs, this partnership is set to create real impact.
