Nigeria to open first AI university in Epe, Lagos

Posted by: Benjamin Onuorah


What’s the news? The first AI-focused university in the country, Wini University, is set to open in Epe, Lagos! The goal? To turn Africa into a major player in the global AI market while equipping Nigerian youths with cutting-edge skills in artificial intelligence.

Inspired by Qatar’s AI university, which pulled in top talent from across the globe, this Nigerian project has been years in the making. It all started back in 2016 when a group of visionaries from Boston and Nigeria began laying the groundwork. Now, after rallying support and getting the green light from the National University Commission (NUC), the dream is becoming a reality.

Wini University aims to do more than just teach — it’s about creating a tech ecosystem that could transform Lagos into Africa’s Silicon Valley. The focus will be on equipping students with in-demand skills like blockchain, quantum computing, machine learning, and generative AI, making them active players in the booming global AI market. And with the global AI market expected to hit $4.6 trillion by 2040, this is a huge step toward putting Africa on the global tech map.

The decision to build in Epe ties into Lagos State’s larger vision of becoming the "California of Africa." President Bola Tinubu’s push to attract global investors and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s efforts to boost Lagos’s economy to fifth place in Africa have made this the perfect spot for such an ambitious project.
