Tech entrepreneur and founder of Moniepoint, Tosin Eniolorunda, has unveiled a ₦3 billion investment to establish innovation hubs across three major Nigerian universities as part of efforts to deepen technology education and innovation in the country.
The initiative will see the creation of innovation and technology centres at Obafemi Awolowo University, University of Nigeria, Nsukka and Ahmadu Bello University, with a focus on equipping students with practical digital and entrepreneurial skills.
The hubs are expected to provide intensive training in software engineering, artificial intelligence, robotics, product design and entrepreneurship, creating pathways for students to build globally competitive technology solutions and startups. Brandspur Brand News gathered that the project is designed to strengthen Nigeria’s innovation ecosystem and bridge the gap between academic learning and industry demands.
Industry stakeholders say the investment reflects the growing role of private sector collaboration in advancing digital transformation and youth empowerment across Nigeria’s higher education sector.
The development also underscores increasing investment in emerging technologies and talent development as Nigeria positions itself as one of Africa’s leading technology and startup destinations.
