After an educational visit to the Dangote Refinery and Fertilizer Plant in Lagos in mid-June, Aliko Dangote personally offered guaranteed employment to every student involved once they graduate. The announcement, shared by the university’s vice-chancellor, has generated excitement online. Many see it as a powerful example of how industry-university partnerships can prepare young Nigerians for the workforce.
