We are pleased to announce that the Kaduna State Residents Identity Management Agency, KADRIMA, and the Natview Foundation for Technology Innovation, NFTI, have commenced the Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisory-funded Capacity Building Programme for members of staff at KADRIMA.
The first phase of the training focused on advanced Excel classes for staff members of the Corporate Service Department of the Agency.
The participants were equipped with essential skills in data management to boost their productivity and contribute effectively to the organizational goals of the agency. Excel is a crucial tool for data analysis, reporting, and decision-making in today’s digital era. To bridge the skills gap among the KADRIMA employees, we implemented a comprehensive training programme that also covered programming languages like Python and R. Participants learned about data pipelining, advanced formulas, data manipulation, pivot tables, and macros for automation. The course structure was tailored to meet the diverse needs of the agency, ensuring every participant was fully engaged.
By providing these corporate employees with knowledge of Excel and programming languages, we are empowering them with improved competency, productivity, and problem-solving skills that will enable them to achieve their mandate of creating a reliable database of all residents in the State to provide useful data for effective governance.
