ZanZan Group has announced the rebranding of its training arm, ZanZan Academy, as ZanZan Digital School, signaling a sharper focus on cybersecurity education and artificial intelligence literacy and adoption.
The company said the new identity reflects its commitment to preparing young people, entrepreneurs, educators, and emerging leaders for a fast-changing digital economy.
According to the organization, the school will now place greater emphasis on training that helps learners understand, secure, and apply technology responsibly.
The development comes alongside a growing partnership with the Benue State Chapter of the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI Network) for the launch of the 2026 YALI-Benue Tech Accelerator.
The nine-week summer bootcamp is designed for students from JSS3 to SS3, as well as young entrepreneurs and emerging leaders across Benue State.
Under the arrangement, YALI Network Benue will lead leadership development, mentorship, outreach, and community impact activities.
ZanZan Digital School will handle the digital skills component, with a strong emphasis on cybersecurity awareness, AI literacy, innovation, and no-code development.
The training will cover AI literacy and prompt engineering, cybersecurity fundamentals, digital entrepreneurship, e-commerce, career readiness, and virtual collaboration tools.
Participants will also be trained on how to apply for grant support to advance leadership projects, tech accelerator programs and entrepreneurial business ideas.
YALI NETWORK is backed by the Makurdi Window on America and the U.S. Mission in Nigeria while ZanZan Digital School’s credibility is further strengthened by its verification under the UK Register of Learning Providers, with UKPRN 10098463.
The institution has also worked with the Private School Teachers Union of Nigeria (PRISCTUN) and Alpha Technologies on earlier digital empowerment initiatives.
The Founder and Chairman of ZanZan Group is a Fellow of the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) and the Aspire Institute at Harvard Business School, following completion of the Aspire Leaders Program in 2026.
ZanZan Digital School says it aims to become a stronger platform for cybersecurity and artificial intelligence training, while the expanding partnerships, international recognition, and growing institutional collaborations, makes it major platform driving grassroots digital transformation and youth innovation in Nigeria.
