The Digital Bridge Institute (DBI) and the SBTS group have launched a digital infrastructure center known as the Business Process Outsourcing Center (BPO) and the Security Operations Center (SOC), to train and train thousands of Nigerian youth in subcontracting and cybersecurity services.
The CEO of DBI, David Daser, who spoke on the tour prior to the launch of both centers on Wednesday in Abuja, said that in a renewed impulse to support national development in the digital age and guarantee an economic transformation, both organizations remain committed to building the digital capacity of Nigerians while providing job opportunities for young people.

He said: “This event marks a significant milestone on the digital trip Bridge Institute (DBI) as we evolve towards a more agile, receptive and centered institution that supports national development in the digital era.
“Today's pre-launch is more than just the presentation of new facilities, it is a powerful testimony of collaboration, innovation and our shared vision of a digitally empowered Nigeria.
“Our association with SBTS Group has allowed us to make this vision a reality, giving life to a platform that will train, use and empower Nigerian young people in the high -demand sectors of outsourcing and cybersecurity services.
“The BPO Center is designed to position Nigeria as a key player in the global outsourcing industry, while the SOC is a timely response to growing threats in our digital environment, ensuring that we build the ability to protect our national digital infrastructure.
“With these centers, we are not only creating jobs, we are creating skills, resistance and security.”
Daser urged the private sector to associate with the DBI and SBTS in the construction of a more intelligent and safe digital country by involving the services of its “qualified” workforce.
“By outsidering its commercial processes to the BPO DBI-SBTS center, not only benefits from top-level and profitable services, but also plays a direct role in the empowerment of the next generation of digital professionals in Nigeria.”
The CEO SBTS Nigeria Limited, Evelyn Lewis, said that the BPO center and the security operations center would not only train highly qualified digital professionals, but would help unlock the immense potential of Nigerians to feed a safe and sustainable digital economy.
Lewis, who explained that the BPO center and the security operations center were under the framework of its flagship initiative, the intelligent capacities development model (ICBM), said the centers would provide qualified professionals who would perform critical roles in cybersecurity, technological support and digital operations.
He said: “The SBTS vision is closely aligned with the renewed agenda of hope of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, particularly in the areas of skill development, youth employment and digital inclusion.
“The ICBM is a strategic model that fuses the development of the workforce with the technological implementation in real time. It is built not only to train, but to transform Nigerian young people with digital skills and high demand cybersecurity necessary to compete and prosper in the global digital economy.
“This installation is more than bricks and machines: it is an engine of innovation, creation of employment and national development. Through our ICBM program, we will provide a portfolio of qualified professionals who are ready to fulfill critical roles in cyber security, technical support and digital operations, just here in Abuja and, in general, throughout the country.”
While explaining that the training would be executed in two three -month -old phases for entry level and six months respectively, Lewis added that the three -month training also serves as a filter to finally reach the six -month part of the training program.
