He emphasized that digital transformation is no longer optional but essential for modern education.
“The future of learning is digital, and our universities must embrace this transformation,” Comrade Ologe stated, calling on Nigerian higher institutions to prioritize investments in high-speed internet and multimedia infrastructure.
NAUS reaffirmed its commitment to championing technological integration in education, urging policymakers and university stakeholders to follow FUOYE’s example in fostering innovation that prepares students for a rapidly evolving digital world.
