The Breakdown from Businessday NG
Innocent Odoh’s “AltSchool Africa Introduces AI for 10M Africans Initiative to Drive AI Adoption” hit Businessday NG on March 26, 2025, at 16:06 PDT, and it’s a seismic move. From its base in Lagos, Nigeria, AltSchool Africa’s launching a beast of a plan: free and paid AI education for 10 million Africans over five years, announced at a Lagos presser. CEO Adewale Yusuf’s steering this ship—mobile-first courses in English, French, Swahili, and Arabic, targeting rural farmers to city pros. It’s hands-on: certs and career support link learners to agriculture, healthcare, and more. Yusuf’s mantra? “The future belongs to the prepared—AI’s here now, shaping life.” Project lead Foluso Folorunso doubles down: free basics to crack AI open, paid tracks for machine learning and data science. Teamed up with unis, tech firms, and governments—Nigeria, Rwanda, Cape Verde included—it’s a continent-wide play. Odoh frames it big: Africa’s dodged tech waves before—this time, we grab it. Props to Businessday NG for the heat.
