Despite implementing these new curricula, the EdTech industry may not be impacted at all, given the state of the education program in Nigerian universities. This is due to the industry’s coverage of more in-depth knowledge, practical training opportunities, and mentoring programs for specific fields in the technology sector, including some that have recently been added to the curricula of Nigerian universities. It has an entirely different teaching and learning process that is still unmatched by Nigeria’s standard education system. The majority of its advantages, particularly virtual learning, are still a struggle for Nigerian universities because many of them lack adequate infrastructures, instructional aids, and functional tech devices that will improve learning and teaching. Nevertheless, this is a big win for the great Nigerian students and an excellent step to improving the youths’ capabilities.
