Tinubu praised NOUN’s evolution from a platform designed for the working class to an institution that serves the broader educational needs of Nigeria’s youth.

Additionally, Tinubu revealed that within six months, NOUN would provide government officials access to enroll in ICT programs, particularly postgraduate courses at the African Centre of Excellence on Technology Enhanced Learning (ACETEL).

This Online News Platform gathered that the initiative aligns with the government’s efforts to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) to improve decision-making and operational efficiency.

The President urged NOUN to admit qualified government functionaries into its postgraduate programs and tasked ACETEL, hosted by NOUN, with focusing on research to enhance ICT-based learning outcomes in Nigeria.
