Dr Hassan Nuhu, who founded Newgate University in Minna, Niger State, said Nigerian schools need to stop churning out people looking for jobs and start creating actual entrepreneurs instead. The university just held its first graduation ceremony, and Nuhu made it clear that they want students who can build businesses rather than just wave diplomas around. Professor Sadiq Yusuf mentioned that 14 grads got first-class honors, while 207 others finished with various degree classifications across their programs.

The school has blown up from 350 students in 2022 to around 2,000 spread across four faculties, and they've gotten full approval from the Nigerian University Commission for ten of their programs. Governor Mohammed Bago showed up to open their new postgraduate school building and dropped some cash on the university, calling education the best way to transform society. He also commissioned a bunch of other facilities named after local political figures.
