The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Continent 3, has launched a free digital skills empowerment programme for 8,400 Nigerians to mark the 84th birthday of its General Overseer, Ēnoch Adeboye.
Scheduled to begin on March 1, 2026, the initiative aims to address unemployment and bridge the digital divide—challenges that continue to limit economic opportunities for many young Nigerians.
In a statement issued in Lagos, RCCG Continent 3 Overseer, Pastor Johnson Funsho Odesola, said the programme is part of several activities celebrating Adeboye’s birthday and reflects his longstanding focus 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.
The programme will provide training in video editing, graphic design, digital marketing, social media management, animation, content creation, and monetisation of digital skills—areas critical for employability and entrepreneurship in Nigeria’s growing digital economy.
“This is not just a birthday celebration—it is a strategic investment in the future of our nation,” he added. “By equipping 8,400 individuals with digital skills, we are creating pathways out of poverty and enabling Nigerians to compete in the global digital market.”
Pastor Olalekan Adebekun, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Love Transformation Academy, explained that RCCG parishes across regions, provinces, and zones in Continent 3 will serve as training hubs. Sessions will be delivered via Zoom, allowing participants to learn within their local communities.
This arrangement will enable those without personal internet access or devices to participate at designated church facilities while also benefiting from mentorship, follow-up, and integration opportunities—including for non-church members.
Adebekun encouraged youths, students, job seekers, and entrepreneurs to take advantage of the programme, which aims to promote employment, support freelance careers, and nurture a new generation of digital entrepreneurs and content creators.
The programme is being coordinated by Love Transformation Academy, the empowerment arm of RCCG Love Assembly, Lagos Province 1, in partnership with Faith Cometh Multimedia Consultants, combining grassroots church infrastructure with technical training expertise to expand digital inclusion and foster national development.
