Nigerian universities are sitting ages back in time teaching old decades things to future generations that will be irrelevant in the job market. And nothing is being done. This over time will create a big gap between skilled workers and Nigerian students.
I studied electrical electronics in school and I can tell you for a fact that I lack the core skills to boast about what I really did in school. Can't even handle electrical components well because I wasn't taught. All they did was to theoricalisezd everything.
The world is shifting into AI, cyber security, Blockchain, renewable energy, data science etc. But Nigerian universities still sit on the bench of decades old teachings that will never help.
I have a personal interest in a course of today's world and I can tell you for a fact that YouTube will teach me more relevant things than a Nigerian university.
My question is, what can really be done to effectively change the curriculum immediately to the standard of the job market and what guarantee that if changed, will close the gap for skilled workers in Nigeria?
