The Federal Government has introduced new Higher National Diploma (HND) programmes in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cybersecurity, Software Engineering, and Networking as part of a broader plan to modernise Nigeria’s technical education system.
The Executive Secretary of the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), Prof. Idris Bugaje, revealed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja, noting that the initiative is aimed at aligning Nigeria’s education sector with global technological advancements and the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Bugaje described the move as a major milestone in the efforts of President Bola Tinubu’s administration to equip young Nigerians with relevant digital skills for the modern economy.
