The tour peeled back DBI’s wizardry as NCC’s premier training arm, forging skilled ICT warriors through cutting-edge programmes that hammer digital inclusion, local content, and knowledge-driven telecom dominance across Abuja, Kano, and Yola satellites.
Since its 2004 launch, DBI has minted graduates in telecom policy, engineering, and entrepreneurship, blending ITU Centre of Excellence clout with hands-on labs that bridge Nigeria’s talent chasm for 5G rollout and AfCFTA tech leaps.
Maida’s crew hailed the facilities and faculty firepower, recommitting to ramp up manpower for a sector screaming for innovators amid exploding data demands and fibre optic frenzy.
