Young female content creators, tech practitioners, and social media influencers across the Federal Capital Territory have received digital skills training to help them compete in the digital economy. The empowerment session took place in Abuja through the initiative of Princess Hauwa Aduda, founder of the Princess Hauwa Philip Aduda Grassroot Girls STEM Alliance.
According to Voice of Nigeria, the programme was designed to equip participants with modern knowledge, practical capabilities, and the confidence needed to tap into emerging opportunities in technology. It forms part of the Princess Aduda Foundation's broader efforts to advance youth development and women's economic independence.
The workshop gathered participants who work across content creation, digital communication, social media, and related technological fields. The sessions focused on showing the young women how to sharpen their professional abilities, build personal brands, grow businesses, and shape meaningful online narratives.
Organisers pointed out that expanding access to digital expertise allows young female professionals to play an active role in entrepreneurship, innovation, and national growth. To support their journey, the participants were handed mobile phones at the event to assist them with digital practicals and content production.
Through the foundation, Aduda continues to advocate for digital literacy as a key route to empowering women economically. The project seeks to ensure that more young women in the FCT take full advantage of the opportunities opening up within the modern technology space.
