Adeboye’s wife launches initiative to train 76,000 African women in tech
The wife of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Mrs. Folu Adeboye, has launched a free three-month tech training programme under the Ladies in Tech Africa Programme (LITA) to empower 76,000 women across Africa.
The initiative is a partnership between Africa Missions Global and The Incubator Hub to provide participants with in-depth training in high-demand tech skills.
The curriculum is designed to be accessible to women of all backgrounds via an online learning platform.
A statement by the MD/CEO, African Missions Global’s, Mrs. Eyono Fatayi-Williams, explained that by offering free training, LITA seeks to remove financial barriers that often prevent women from pursuing careers in technology.
The programme also aims to create a robust pipeline of skilled female tech talents, thereby fast-tracking Africa’s journey towards digital transformation and sustainable development.
