CodeGarageAfrica, in partnership with the Oyo State Government, 386konsult, and Zeeh Africa, is proud to announce the successful certification of 1,000 senior secondary school students from 110 schools across Ibadan’s 11 local government areas in their 1000 Lines of Code initiative. The students completed an intensive 5-day training program at the International Conference Center in Ibadan, focusing on developing essential technology and coding skills.
Throughout the program, students participated in interactive workshops, hands-on coding/non code tech sessions, and real-world tech projects. The curriculum, designed by industry professionals, covered key areas such as web and mobile app development, software engineering, and digital literacy.
“We are incredibly proud of what these students have achieved in just five days,” said Dolapo Ayeni, Co-founder and Chief Brand Officer of CodeGarageAfrica. “This program is a crucial step in equipping our youth with the digital skills they need for the future. We are committed to supporting their journey and ensuring they have the tools to succeed.”
