I realised that Nigeria doesn’t need more graduates with paper degrees; we need young people with skills that can survive economic storms. American Open University is my answer to that 2001 version of myself; we are building the bridge I wish I had. How has your personal background influenced the EDGE Framework (Educate, Develop, Grow, Empower) that the American Open University champions? From your experience, what is the single most critical tech skill that Nigerian graduates are currently missing when trying to compete in the global ‘earn globally’ marketplace? What strategic advantages did you see in Ibadan that made it the right ‘soil’ for your American Open University?
