The organizations intended to give participants hands-on experience with tools expected to shape the national digital future.
During the closing events, organizers distributed certificates of completion to all attendees. The agencies also awarded laptops and tablets to students who demonstrated outstanding performance throughout the sessions.
Ikechukwu Eze, representing the South-East Zonal Director of NITDA, instructed attendees to apply their new knowledge to real-world challenges. He advised the students to look beyond standard classroom environments to become technology leaders within the national digital economy.
The agency stated that regional bootcamps function as a mechanism to strengthen the national digital talent pipeline. By delivering early education in computing systems, the program seeks to prepare a new generation of innovators to participate in the local technology workforce.
