Implications of Change Making for the Future ICT Workforce in ICT and Social Entrepreneurship in Nigeria

Social entrepreneurs are driven individuals that try to create systemic solutions to problems that affect people’s well-being, such as poverty, unemployment, and a lack of high-quality healthcare. The word “social entrepreneurship” refers to their activity that generates social value. The purpose of this research paper is to lay the groundwork for a larger discussion about (1) the role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) as change and reform vehicles in the social sector, with a focus on social entrepreneurship; and (2) the opportunities that social entrepreneurship provides for the future ICT workforce. A qualitative methodology is used to report the results of semi-structured interviews. Five significant insights concerning the role of technology in the execution of social solutions are provided, together with their implications for future generations’ development.
