The Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) has commissioned a new ICT Workplace Learning Hub at Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH), designed to equip students with cutting-edge digital skills and industry-relevant expertise.
Located in Ikeja’s Computer Village, the hub is a strategic initiative aimed at bridging the gap between theoretical learning and practical application in the ICT sector. The facility will offer hands-on training to students, preparing them to meet the demands of Nigeria’s digital economy.
Speaking at the commissioning, YABATECH Rector, Engr. Dr. Ibraheem Abdul, highlighted the importance of the project:
“This hub will play a pivotal role in equipping our students with the knowledge and expertise required to excel in the ICT sector. It also fosters collaboration between the college and the tech community.”
Dr Abdul added that the hub is part of a broader institutional goal to produce future-ready, digitally empowered graduates, integrating real-world training with academic instruction.
TETFund Board of Trustees member representing the Southwest, Honourable Sunday Adepoju, who was on a tour of TETFund projects at the college, lauded YABATECH for its efficient and transparent execution of TETFund-funded projects. He commended the absence of abandoned projects and called on other institutions to emulate the college’s standard.
Adepoju also urged tertiary institutions to commercialize research outcomes and ensure proper maintenance of public-funded infrastructure.
The ICT hub is one of several initiatives driven by TETFund to enhance capacity building, research, and innovation across Nigeria’s tertiary institutions.
