One of Nigeria’s education-focused startups Tutor.ng has announced it has ventured into educational technology development. Oluwajoba Oloba, an attorney and Tutor.ng’s head of projects and partnerships, said they’ve worked heavily on a workable model to make education available and accessible at a pocket friendly cost.
He said: “We have also gone ahead into different partnerships locally and internationally to offer premium educational services at a very reasonable cost. With focus on education, we are also involved in educational technology development for organisations, content development for the Nigerian syllabus and skill workshops across institutions.”
According to him, these steps taken by the company will soon make huge impact in the country’s national education system.
Tutor.ng is one of the latest entrants into Nigeria’s rapidly expanding online education sector. Tutor.ng employs a unique model and aims to solve key problems specific to Nigeria and Africa as a whole.
“Although there are some online learning and teaching platforms similar to ours in different parts of the globe, Tutor.ng is still the only online teaching and learning platform operational in Nigeria now where people can monetise their content and the knowledge they are willing to transfer to others,” he said recently.
“Our interest in this particular model is hinged on three very pivotal objectives: to improve the quality and reach of education in Nigeria; to help reduce unemployment by giving skilled people an avenue to pass on their knowledge to a wider audience for a fee or free; a system that can complement the conventional teaching system where people can learn at very affordable rates.”
