Laying the foundation for a world class STEM education in Africa
A message from the Chairman, Governing Board
Africa’s great potential will only be realized by intensifying training and investment in our people. World-class education can help transform African economies from predominantly resource-dependent to knowledge-based.
This is the mission of NUTM: to transform Africa through technology and entrepreneurship education, leveraging our success factors of a predominantly global faculty, industry-led curriculum, experiential learning, and global academic and industry partnerships.
As existing and potential donors, I hope you would partner with us financially and in-kind on this journey as we aim to achieve our vision of becoming a top 50 globally ranked University.
