The Kwara State Government has opened applications for Project 774: Digital Capacity Training Trainer Recruitment, a paid initiative designed to strengthen grassroots digital inclusion across selected Local Government Areas. The programme will be implemented in the pilot LGAs of Ilorin West, Ilorin East, Ilorin South, Ifelodun, and Offa.
Project 774: Digital Capacity Training is a Federal Government–supported initiative of the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy. It aims to build digital capacity at the local government level and equip public servants with essential digital skills. In Kwara State, the programme is being deployed under the leadership of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq as part of the administration’s commitment to inclusive development and digitally enabled local governance.
The core objective of the training is to develop foundational digital competencies among Local Government personnel. This will improve administrative efficiency, enhance service delivery, and support a gradual transition to paperless and e-governance processes across local government offices.
Phase 1 of the programme will run for 12 weeks in the selected LGAs: Ilorin West, Ilorin East, Ilorin South, Ifelodun, and Offa.
Selected trainers will deliver structured and practical sessions using the approved Project 774 curriculum. They will facilitate hands-on learning, guide participants through practical exercises, support digital adoption within local government offices, maintain attendance and progress records, and provide periodic feedback on learning outcomes.
The training will cover six core modules. Module 1 focuses on Basic Digital Literacy, including computer fundamentals, operating systems, internet safety, email usage, and workplace digital etiquette. Module 2 covers Office Productivity and Documentation, including word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, and official templates. Module 3 addresses Digital Communication and Collaboration, such as email practice, document sharing, virtual meetings, and internal workflows.
Module 4 focuses on Records Digitization and Data Handling, including scanning, digital archiving, data entry standards, and file organization systems. Module 5 introduces e-Governance and Paperless Processes, covering digital approvals, electronic records, reporting structures, and shared or cloud storage. Module 6 covers Cybersecurity and Asset Protection, including device safety, password management, malware awareness, and protection of government digital assets.
Trainers will be engaged on a paid service basis for the duration of the programme.
Only applicants with demonstrable training experience, a proven delivery record, and structured corporate or professional training capacity will be considered. Candidates may be required to provide evidence of previous training engagements, organizational profiles, or relevant certifications.
The deadline for applications is 4pm on Wednesday, March 4, 2026.
