We have partnered with the U.S Consulate General, Nigeria to cultivate a world-class STEM workforce by improving 100 Educators' competence to effectively integrate practical Learning, teach challenging content and provide key resources relevant to the modern teacher in understanding STEM pathways and courses.

This supported the development of 28 business scale-up strategies and plans through various investments and collaboration with local governments, industry, and Academia.
