To transform the Nigerian educational ecosystem, a leading edutech firm, ProjKonnect, has designed a digital educational application to personalise learning for both students and young professionals.

The ProjKonnect App, according to the firm, would contribute towards the development of a new generation of Nigerian youths, particularly university undergraduates, who are equipped with the required skill sets necessary to favourably compete in the 21st century.

Also, the app, built to creatively incorporate a set of advanced tools, would enable corporate entities to contribute to its courses in order to make them match global industry standards while also providing Nigerian youths with the opportunity to gain practical experiences upon completion of the courses.

Speaking on the idea behind the launch of the ProjKonnect App, Chief Executive Officer of ProjKonnect Integrated Systems Limited, Paul Ojo, said the core goal the organisation intends to achieve revolves around uplifting the Nigerian educational standards in order to propel the country’s youth into strategic roles across the global scene.

“The major driving force behind the creation of the ProjKonnect App reiterates our thorough commitment, as an edutech entity, towards the advancement of the Nigerian educational sector which is solely hinged on upskilling the competencies of an average Nigerian youth.

“This aligns with our overall objective which seeks to ensure that learning across our digital platforms matches either the academic or professional needs of every student nationwide. It is to this end that the app also leverages the power of artificial intelligence to effe

ctively cater for the futuristic educational demands of Nigerian youths,” he said.

He added that the platform uses high-powered digital technologies to help bridge the skills gap that Nigerian youths need to be competitive in the global market.

“The app is, therefore, designed to serve as a viable pipeline for the acquisition of soft skills for Nigerian youths,” he added.
