WorldQuant University and Renewed Hope to expand free online education in Nigeria
Collaboration connects free online technical programs with presidency-endorsed engagement platform.
WorldQuant University has announced a partnership with Renewed Hope Global to expand access to its free online academic programs for Nigerian youth.
The collaboration links the not-for-profit online institution with a presidency-endorsed global engagement platform aligned with Nigeria’s Renewed Hope Administration.
The move places online technical education within a broader national reform narrative, as Nigeria continues to position skills development and digital capacity as economic priorities. WorldQuant University currently reports more than 5,000 learners in Nigeria.
