Why graduate with a CV when you can graduate with a business plan?

With official figures from the Nigerian government on unemployment at 23.9% and a minister revealing that only 10% of graduates get decent jobs two years after graduation, we invite you to imagine the opportunity to reverse the trend of producing job seekers, and producing competent ready hands and employers of labour. Imagine what the best of today’s young Nigerian code-spinners and ICT gurus-in-the-making – to who are exposed to the technical, business and leadership requirements of ICT innovation – can contribute to Nigeria’s economy, technology businesses operating in Nigeria and the businesses that these young (wo)men build.

Techie Entrepreneurial Nigerian Talented (TENT), a Paradigm Initiative Nigeria (PIN) project, seeks to expose today's Nigerian technology students to technology, business and leadership requirements for ICT innovation. The big vision is to help jumpstart the culture of innovation and enterprise in the mould of global technology brands which all began from the university halls of their young founders.
