The world is fast moving to a place where digital skills will be the new normal. In law parlance, it is a common thing to hear attorneys and legal practitioners use the word, “ignorance is no defense in law”. This effectively means as youths in Africa, and anyone for that matter has equal opportunities with our fellow youths in other continents to seek, learn and leverage these skills because the future, (if we are already not in) will revolve around digital skills as a prerequisite requirement.
