Nigeria’s rapidly expanding tech ecosystem is set for a significant leap as Aptech, a global leader in vocational IT training, announces a groundbreaking partnership with India’s Scope Global Skills University (SGSU). The collaboration will introduce a first-of-its-kind Nigeria-to-India IT degree pathway aimed at equipping young Nigerians with globally competitive digital skills. The initiative marks a major investment in bridging Africa’s tech talent gap through structured academic and industry-driven learning.
According to Aptech, the pathway will allow Nigerian students to begin their IT training locally before transitioning to SGSU in India to complete a full degree program. The curriculum is designed to produce industry-ready graduates capable of thriving in high-demand fields such as software development, cybersecurity, cloud technologies and artificial intelligence. Stakeholders describe the partnership as a strategic move that aligns with global workforce trends and Nigeria’s ambitions to strengthen its digital economy.
As the program prepares to open its first enrolment cycle, industry experts say the collaboration could become a model for cross-border tech education and a catalyst for expanding Nigeria’s presence in the global talent market. Could this innovative pathway be the turning point that elevates Nigeria’s tech workforce to world-class status?
