Why NIGSS is promoting it

The opportunity supports one of NIGSS's core goals: helping Nigerians globally build practical skills and access pathways into sectors shaped by AI, data, software, security and advanced technology.

Members remain responsible for reviewing E1X Academy's current terms, course requirements, deadlines and payment conditions before enrolling.

Additional NIGSS/ALEMF-funded support is being evaluated. A limited number of additional sponsorships may be created to cover the onboarding fee for selected members. The final number, eligibility rules and selection process have not yet been announced, so no applicant should assume this additional funding is guaranteed.
