The leadership recognised the Nervego program as a timely opportunity to connect young minds with professional mentorship, tech exposure and digital skill development that aligns with global innovation trends.
The engagement highlighted shared goals from both parties to build a community where young developers can learn, innovate and evolve into world-class problem-solvers.
Oseni commended Nervego executives for taking an interest in empowering students and expanding tech ecosystems across Nigerian institutions. The school management also affirmed their readiness to partner with Nervego in creating an enabling environment for tech skill development and future-driven innovation.
With plans underway to launch the first phase of the tech community, both teams are optimistic that this collaboration will produce a new generation of high-impact developers capable of shaping Nigeria’s digital future from the classroom to the global stage.
