Today’s session at the Spires5aside × IHS Nigeria Sport Meet Tech Initiative focused on Digital Marketing, Social Media Management, and Content Creation, equipping participants with practical skills to thrive in today’s digital world. The training went beyond theory, giving participants hands-on experience in creating engaging digital content using CapCut, understanding social media management, developing creative ideas, and exploring opportunities in digital marketing. It was inspiring to see participants actively participate, demonstrate their creativity, and share their experiences as they put their newly acquired knowledge into practice. This five-day initiative is designed to empower 100 participants daily, with 50 participants attending the morning session and another 50 participating in the evening session. Beyond the classroom experience, participants also enjoy free lunch as part of the programme, ensuring a supportive and engaging learning environment. Through this collaboration, Spires5aside and IHS Nigeria are investing in young people by providing access to digital education, practical training, and opportunities that extend beyond the football pitch. Because the future is bigger than football. We are building minds, developing skills, and inspiring futures. #Spires5aside

@Spires5Aside Sports Meet-tech: 50 Free Laptops Excites Participants. The ongoing Spires Sports Meet-tech program has been praised by participants as a transformative experience. The initiative designed to empower young people beyond sports by creating a window to acquire relevant tech skills is being held at the Digital Bridge Institute in Oshodi, Lagos. Among the participants are footballers, coaches, referees, school students, and others from various works of life. One of the participants, coach of Chekas United Football Club Richard Nwosu, said the tech program has opened his eyes to greater opportunities beyond football. In his words: " I am so glad to be part of this training program, all we have been taught has open my eyes to opportunities in the tech world and this i hope to leverage going forward". An undergraduate Tolulope Francisca, who is also attending the training, said she has been greatly impacted by the program and hopes to be considered as one of those to get the free laptops. " This is a very important opportunity and I have embarrassed it with every sense of seriousness, technology control's today's world and knowledge like Coding, Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning amongst others are in high demand all over the world " she added. Spires and IHS will give out fifty (50) computers to selected participants to aid their development in tech education. The program started on Monday, 2nd November, and will come to a close on Friday the 6th, 2026. @IbkSports @Mathew_Okugbe @femibanks @PoojaMedia
