The Professor Paul Nnamchi Tech-Hub and Youth Innovation (PPNTAYI) annual computer training programme for youths in Enugu East and Isi Uzo Federal Constituency is set to commence on August 1, 2025.
DAILY GAZETTE gathered that this year’s edition will take place simultaneously at two venues; Community Primary School, Mbu (Isi Uzo LGA) and St. Joseph Hall, Emene (Enugu East LGA).
The training will run daily from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm until August 31, 2025.
Originally initiated during Professor Paul Nnamchi’s time at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, the programme began as a way to expose secondary school students to basic information and communication technology.
Following his election to the House of Representatives in 2023, the programme was expanded to include youths from across Isi Uzo and Enugu East, with over 500 participants benefiting since its expansion.
The programme coordinator, Daniel Nwachukwu told DAILY GAZETTET that the training would cover essential ICT topics, including:
- Basic Computer Knowledge
- Microsoft Office Packages
- Internet and Web Browsing
- Email and Communication Skills
- Desktop Set-up
- Basic Graphic Design
- Computer Configuration and System Maintenance
- Introduction to ICT
According to Mr. Nwachukwu, interest in the programme has grown significantly, with an overwhelming number of applications already received, making the sorting and selection process quite challenging.
Professor Nnamchi has consistently emphasized that the programme is designed to equip young people with relevant digital skills to prepare them for both academic pursuits and the evolving job market.
The training will conclude on August 31, 2025, with a certificate award ceremony for all successful participants.
