VDT and Others Support Girls in ICT Day Campaign

The 2026 International Girls in ICT Day campaign, organized by eBusiness Life Communication Limited, has garnered support from telecom firms such as MTN, VDT, and Zoracom.

Scheduled to take place in Lagos, the event is part of an annual initiative by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) that aims to sensitize and encourage young women and girls to pursue ICT and related fields, traditionally dominated by men. With the theme “AI For Development: Girls Shaping The Digital Future,” the campaign intends to raise awareness among girls and women in ICT careers.

Mrs. Ufuoma Emuophedaro, CEO of eBusiness Life Communication Limited and event convener, said the annual event highlights the crucial role women will play in the future of innovative technology.

She thanked the companies and institutions that have supported the campaign over the years and urged other forward‑looking organizations to partner with eBusiness Life to educate young girls about strategically positioning themselves for future careers by embracing technology today.
