…ensuring responsible, safe and savvy digital citizens
VISION
Nigerian youths exploring the digital world safely, responsibly and smartly.
MISSION
Empower young Nigerians with the skills and knowledge to become positive and smart users of digital technologies.
OBJECTIVES
a) Raise awareness of Digital Citizenship across Nigeria so that the youths can have confident and positive engagement with digital technology
b) Achieve pervasive digital access in the classrooms as well as equitable access to digital devices for every learner.
c) Ensure that digital citizenship become a mandatory feature of elementary to secondary education across the Nigerian school system.
We are all too familiar with stories of Nigerians’ misuse and abuse of technology, from online rumour perpetrators specializing in fake news, to young people engaging in nefarious sharing of inappropriate materials, and even to government officials wishing to stifle free speech by enacting laws which real intent is not so much to punish online criminals but to protect themselves from the scrutiny of sincere watchers of their activities.

As an organizational partner of Digital Citizenship Institute USA we support the idea of digital citizenship because we understand the extraordinary influence digital technologies are having in our modern world to the extent that as the interaction between digitization, and the globalization of our planet grows, it impacts the way we live, do business, learn and interact with our planet, and the materials that comprise it. We believe that digital citizenship will be a crucial ingredient for balance in the emerging integration of human and digital mediums.
