    A one-year fully-funded, residential postgraduate training on technology, entrepreneurship, design and management, delivered by captains of industry in Nigeria and academic experts from renowned universities globally. I am 1 of 60 carefully selected scholars from thousands of applicants scattered across Africa. The training, designed "for Africans in Africa to catalyse a continental transformation", is worth $35,000 per scholar, with a well-experienced Management Board comprising former Federal Ministers in Nigeria and top CEOs in Africa. With a robust curriculum that features the practical building of a problem-solving startup, shadowing a CEO in a preferred sector and learning strategies on how to lead self, NUTM is undoubtedly the "MIT of Africa" and a mind-reformation necessity for a budding African leader.
