The campus, once completed, is expected to offer advanced training, scholarships, and global outsourcing opportunities for Plateau’s youth. Governor Mutfwang, who pledged the state government’s full support, said the initiative would not only empower young people but also reposition Plateau within Nigeria’s digital economy.
“This is more than a project; it is a legacy investment in the future of our young people,” Daser said at the event. “DBI will bring its expertise, programs, and partnerships to the table, while the state government provides the enabling environment. Together, we are unlocking the next chapter of Plateau’s innovation story.”
Beyond the campus, Daser also used the occasion to call for urgent action on the Plateau State Startup Bill, currently before the House of Assembly. He appealed to the Governor and the Speaker to fast-track its passage, noting that the bill is crucial for unlocking funding, investment, and structured support for Plateau’s fast-growing tech ecosystem.

The initiative ties into broader national projects, including the Federal Government’s Talent City Project and planned fiber optic expansion, which aim to connect Nigeria’s states to global digital infrastructure. With Plateau now aligning itself to these efforts, the state is positioning to attract not just local but also international attention in the technology sector.
Daser also acknowledged the backing of key federal stakeholders, including Dr. Bosun Tijani, Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, and Dr. Aminu Maida, Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), for what he described as their “unwavering support” in laying the foundation for a digital future that drives inclusive growth.
For Plateau’s young people, the DBI campus represents more than just classrooms and computer labs — it symbolizes access. Access to training, access to global opportunities, and access to a future where Jos can be recognized as more than a cultural hub, but as a digital capital of the North.
