He emphasized, “This holds a significant responsibility and opportunity for Nigerian youth. We anticipate your enthusiasm and dedication.”
Osinbajo also highlighted the program’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity, saying, “We’ll select 50 exceptional individuals from varied educational and social backgrounds, showcasing a strong passion for EdTech and a dedication to shaping a better future for our communities.”
