The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Continent 3, has unveiled a free digital skills empowerment programme targeting 8,400 beneficiaries to mark the 84th birthday of its General Overseer, Enoch Adeboye.
The initiative is scheduled to commence on March 1, 2026, and is designed to tackle unemployment and bridge the digital divide, two major challenges that continue to limit economic opportunities for many young Nigerians.
In a statement issued in Lagos, the RCCG Continent 3 Overseer, Pastor Johnson Funsho Odesola, said the programme forms part of several activities lined up to commemorate Adeboye’s birthday. He noted that the initiative reflects the General Overseer’s long-standing emphasis on education, youth development, and national transformation.
“By investing in digital capacity building, RCCG Continent 3 seeks to honour the General Overseer’s legacy of raising empowered, purpose-driven individuals who positively impact society,” Odesola said.
He explained that beneficiaries will receive training in video editing, graphic design, digital marketing, social media management, animation, content creation, and monetisation of digital skills. These areas, he said, are critical for employability and entrepreneurship in Nigeria’s fast-growing digital economy.
“This is not merely a birthday celebration — it is a strategic investment in the future of our nation,” he added. “By empowering 8,400 individuals with digital skills, we are creating pathways out of poverty and positioning Nigerians to compete in the global digital economy.”
Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Love Transformation Academy, Pastor Olalekan Adebekun, disclosed that RCCG parishes across regions, provinces, and zones in Continent 3 will serve as study centres. Training sessions will be delivered via Zoom, allowing participants to learn from their local communities.
According to him, the structure will enable individuals who do not have personal internet access or suitable devices to benefit by gathering at designated church facilities. He also said the centres will provide mentorship, follow-up, and integration opportunities for participants, including non-church members.
Adebekun urged youths, students, job seekers, entrepreneurs, and members of the general public to take advantage of the programme, which organisers say will foster employment, support freelance careers, and nurture a new generation of digital entrepreneurs and content creators.
Love Transformation Academy, the empowerment arm of RCCG Love Assembly, Lagos Province 1, is coordinating the programme in partnership with Faith Cometh Multimedia Consultants, combining church infrastructure with technical expertise to promote digital inclusion and national development.
