Nigerian University Rolls Out Cybersecurity Degree Program

The Nigerian University of Technology and Management (NUTM) has launched three undergraduate programs in computer science, cybersecurity, and information technology, featuring a curriculum focused on computing, entrepreneurship capstones, professional skills, industry experience, and potential venture capital support for student projects. University leaders position the initiative as part of a mission to deliver world-class academic excellence and empower African youth, amid broader national conversations about retraining convicted scammers as IT professionals and efforts by President Bola Tinubu to dispel Nigeria’s cybercrime image.
