“However, for us, we noticed that ability comes before disability, so we are taking the positivity out of this syndrome. Topping the list of visions of euniversity Nigeria is to see young people become business owners from skills learnt online. It’s a win-win situation for the learners and instructors.

Hence, we seek to forge a partnership with them to use our platform to create future technology courses like Product Design Management, Data Science, EJournalism, E-commerce, Computer Applications Programming and IoT. We are poised to make a learning revolution that would make our youths compete in the global market”. Also, the co-founder, Salaudeen Abdul added, “What we are bringing is a platform that creates an instant economic boom with its opportunities. We make courses for wealth creation for our learners and also let instructors make instant wealth from their courses. With all honesty, we are being realistic when we talk about our intention to empower over five million Nigerians before 2023”.
