Moniepoint Group (@moniepoint) has announced a landmark N3 billion investment to establish three Innovation Hubs across major Nigerian universities. These Universities include:
• Obafemi Awolowo University
• University of Nigeria Nsukka
• Ahmadu Bello University
This initiative represents one of the largest private‑sector contributions to Nigerian higher education in recent years and is designed to ensure that opportunities for tech talent development are spread across different regions of the country.
Each hub will function as a hands‑on centre for software engineering, data science, AI, robotics, design, product development, and entrepreneurship.
Open to students from all faculties, the programme will offer structured cohort learning, mentorship, real‑world project experience, and direct engagement with Moniepoint’s engineering and product teams.
The initiative builds on earlier investments such as the CAD/CAM lab at OAU and the HatchDev programme at UNILAG, reinforcing Moniepoint’s commitment to capacity building in Nigerian institutions.
Speaking at the launch, Moniepoint CEO, Tosin Eniolorunda (@Eniolorunda) emphasised that Nigeria’s digital future depends on homegrown, industry‑ready talent trained within Nigerian universities. University leaders echoed this sentiment, noting that the hubs will expand learning opportunities and inspire students to pursue innovation.
Beyond infrastructure, Moniepoint will provide curriculum support, mentorship, internships, and industry exposure, ensuring the hubs become launchpads for future innovators, not just classrooms.
The initiative aligns with Moniepoint’s broader mission to strengthen Africa’s prosperity by investing in both financial infrastructure and the human capital that will drive the continent’s digital economy.
