The statement also stated that the company would also provide internship opportunities, unique group experiences, and professional development opportunities to the top twenty students from the class that pass a remote aptitude test.

The statement further explained that the initiative is part of the Tizeti #PayItForward program, which supports brilliant graduating students at the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department of African universities in its area of operation with the right skills, “and experiences for career growth in technology, while providing Tizeti with talented young graduates for the next phase of its growth across Africa.”

According to the Ananyi, “As an alumnus of the University of Benin, I believe I have a responsibility to leave the door open and provide opportunities to students from my alma mater. Exactly 20 years ago, I was in that class having just acquired my 1st mobile phone at the launch of GSM in Nigeria, wondering what the future would hold and earnestly seeking opportunities to advance myself. With this move, we will build our front-line workforce by taking brilliant graduates with no experience and transforming them into job-ready, fully-qualified professionals in Information and Communications Technology, and provide them with scholarships and job opportunities to kickstart their careers.”
