UNICEF Urges Massive Investment in Digital Skills as Youth Population Surges

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has called for urgent, large-scale investment in digital skills to prepare Nigeria’s rapidly expanding youth population for the jobs of the future. Speaking at a media dialogue in Lagos, UNICEF’s Chief of Field Office, Celine Lafoucriere, warned that failure to act now could deepen inequality and undermine Nigeria’s development. By 2030, Nigeria will be home to an estimated 126 million children, making it one of the world’s youngest nations. Over 28 million children are already out of school, and 15% of Nigerian girls aged 15–24 are neither in school, employment, nor training. This digital gap, driven by poor infrastructure and limited device access, is a critical obstacle.

Over 60 Nations Sign UN Cybercrime Treaty Amid Rights Concerns

More than 60 countries have signed a new United Nations treaty to combat cybercrime, creating the first global framework for international cooperation on digital offenses. The signing ceremony took place in Hanoi, Vietnam, on Saturday. The treaty aims to help nations work together to fight crimes like online scams, child sexual abuse material, and digital money laundering. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called the signing an "important milestone" in addressing crimes that "drain billions of dollars from our economy." However, the treaty faces strong opposition from human rights groups and major technology companies. Critics warn that its broad definitions of cybercrime could be misused by governments to increase surveillance, suppress dissent, and target journalists and political opponents. The treaty, first proposed by Russia in 2017, was approved by the UN last year after lengthy negotiations. While it includes some human rights […]
