DBI unveils plans to create 100,000 jobs, canvases Tinubu’s re-election

The President/CEO of Digital Bridge Institute (DBI), David Daser, has unveiled an ambitious plan to create at least 100,000 jobs through large-scale digital outsourcing projects, while also urging Nigerians to support and re-elect President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to continue his reform agenda.

Speaking with journalists in Abuja, while marking his one year in office, Daser said the DBI’s Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) strategy was designed to position Nigeria as a digital hub, empower young people, and generate sustainable employment across the country.

He explained that the initiative would begin with a 10,000-seat BPO facility in Lagos, expected to produce over 70,000 jobs, with a target of 100,000 jobs by 2026.

“As part of this mandate, in DBI our strategy for Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) is designed to drive large-scale job creation while positioning DBI Lagos as a premier talent city,” Daser said.

“We are working towards establishing a 10,000-seat BPO facility in Lagos campus, a development expected to generate over 70,000 jobs. By 2026, we plan to expand this initiative to provide at least 100,000 jobs—further boosting Nigeria’s digital economy and empowering young people with sustainable employment opportunities.”

He said that DBI stands as a vital technical partner and capacity-building institution that helps translate President Tinubu’s digital transformation agenda into reality.

Speaking further, Daser tied the job creation drive to President Tinubu’s broader economic vision, describing the administration’s reforms as bold, painful but necessary decisions that Nigerians must support by granting the President a second term.

“For being courageous to make hard decisions needed to rescue the country from the previous precarious situation, I appealed to Nigerians to back the President and re-elect him, to complete his second term,” the DBI CEO declared.

According to him, some of the policies may seem tough in the short term but are designed to bring lasting stability to the economy.

“Some of the reforms may feel painful now, but they are necessary for Nigeria’s future stability and growth. President Tinubu has taken difficult decisions that past leaders seeking re-election avoided. For example, he removed the fuel subsidy on his very first day in office. This shows his commitment to genuine reform rather than political convenience.

“I will encourage Nigerians to support the President’s vision and re-elect him for a second term. Only President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has the courage to make the hard choices needed to rescue Nigeria from its current situation.”

Daser further stressed that Nigerians should be patient with the administration, noting that President Tinubu was focused on permanent solutions rather than temporary fixes.

“People should be patient with President Tinubu. I know that some of the policies are biting but I can assure them, the President is more interested in long term solutions to Nigeria’s problems. Over the years, we have adopted short-term measures that keep digging Nigeria into deep holes. He is practically filling up the holes. It will be to the gain of Nigeria in the long run.

“So, I will encourage Nigerians to support him for his second term bid, and vote for him. Among those parading themselves, it is only President Tinubu that can save Nigeria from the present economic crisis, the people ganging up in the coalition are the same people who put Nigeria into the mess.

The best person we have in the room now is President Tinubu, he has taken the biggest decision that presidents who were interested in the second term were afraid to take, meaning, he doesn’t care about winning or losing election but to save Nigeria from the present crisis.”

The DBI boss added that Tinubu’s reforms were not just about economic rescue, but also about digitization, modernization of governance, and capacity-building for the workforce to thrive in a digital future.

“The DBI stands as a vital technical partner and capacity-building institution that helps translate President Tinubu’s digital transformation agenda into reality.” He said.
