The Federal Government has secured a $40 million grant from the French Development Agency, AFD, to develop Information and Communication Technology, ICT, infrastructure across 10 federal universities.
Unveiling the initiative in Abuja on Tuesday, the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, said the project, titled Blueprint ICT Development, is a strategic step towards digitising Nigeria’s tertiary education system.
“This is more than just infrastructure. It’s an investment in smart campuses, smart people, and smart ideas,” Alausa said.
