Answer Options
Correct Answer
A.
Good morning everyone. A few years ago I missed a scholarship interview because I couldn't edit a simple document on the computer - a mistake that still haunts me. Today, 78% of Nigerian youths are online daily, yet only 42% feel confident using essential software. What will you do when the next opportunity requires a skill you haven't mastered? Digital literacy is no longer optional; it is the key to unlocking future careers, entrepreneurship, and informed citizenship. I urge each of you to enrol in the upcoming digital‑literacy club and start mastering these tools today. Together, we can turn today's challenges into tomorrow's successes.
B.
Good morning everyone. I remember the first time I tried to submit an online assignment and the system crashed, leaving me with a zero - an experience that taught me the value of digital fluency. Recent data shows that 72% of Nigerian youths own a smartphone, but just 38% can create a presentation without help. What will you do when the next exam requires you to submit a video project? Sign up for the upcoming digital‑literacy bootcamp and take charge of your future now.
C.
Good morning everyone. As a former student I once lost a scholarship opportunity because I couldn't format a résumé on a computer - a loss that still reminds me of the gap in my skills. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, 80% of Nigerian graduates are online, yet only 45% are proficient in word processing. Will you let a lack of digital knowledge hold you back? Enroll in the school's digital‑literacy club this week and start mastering the tools you need today.
D.
Good morning everyone. When I was in secondary school I missed a coding competition because I couldn't copy and paste a line of code - a simple mistake that cost my team the win. Today, 65% of Nigerian students use the internet daily, yet only 30% feel comfortable with basic spreadsheet functions. How will you compete in a world where digital skills are the norm? I challenge you to join the new digital‑skills workshop after school and start building your competence today.
