The recent appointment of Princess Oforitsenere Emiko as the interim Chairman of the Digital Bridge Institute (DBI) signals a pivotal shift in Nigeria's digital education landscape. Emiko's selection by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) comes at a crucial time when the country is striving to enhance its technological capabilities and bridge the digital divide.
With a background in telecommunications and a commitment to advancing digital literacy, Emiko is expected to spearhead initiatives that align with the government's broader digital transformation agenda.
