In 2021, information technology contributed over N4 trillion to the N40 trillion generated GDP in the first quarter . With the right investment in the technology ecosystem, we can see the number increase exponentially. Technology empowers entrepreneurship and startups. The tech industry encourages individuals to pursue innovative ideas, create their own ventures, and contribute to economic growth. Technology has also facilitated remote work opportunities. With advancements in communication and collaboration tools, people can work remotely, eliminating geographical barriers and expanding employment opportunities. This enables Nigerians to participate in global projects, collaborate with globally distributed teams, and access opportunities that were previously limited by physical location.
Laptops are essential tools for individuals to participate in the digital economy, engage in remote work, and acquire digital skills. By ensuring widespread access to laptops, Nigeria can bridge the digital divide, empower its citizens tto take advantage of tech opportunities, and drive economic growth in a more inclusive and equitable manner. Nexascale recognizes the significant obstacle faced by aspiring individuals in starting their tech careers due to the lack of access to laptops. While commendable efforts have been made by individuals and organizations to purchase laptops for those in need, it remains unfeasible to provide laptops for everyone, leaving some without the opportunity to begin their tech journeys.
NexaScale’s core mission revolves around connecting individuals with the opportunities necessary to initiate and advance their careers. However, access to laptops is essential for such progress. To address this challenge in Nigeria, we have partnered with some hubs, procuring a substantial number of laptops to be housed in these locations. We prioritize areas where a significant number of our members reside, ensuring that those who need laptops the most are given priority. As mentioned in our video announcement, our aim is to establish a Laptop Sharing Initiative within these hubs, providing individuals with access to the necessary tools as they build their careers until they can afford their own laptops.
By extending computer access to a wider audience, we anticipate a transformative impact on their lives and the broader community. However, we cannot accomplish this mission alone. We call upon your support to make this initiative a success. Please help us amplify our cause by sharing this initiative on social media or Donate to our laptop fund. Any contributions made to our laptop fund will directly aid in acquiring more laptops for those in need. Additionally, if you’re aware of hubs that we should be speaking to, kindly reach out to us at partnership@nexascale.org. We actively seek partnerships that align with our mission, and together, we can empower individuals globally with opportunities from technology.
