Background

WorldQuant University has announced a new partnership with Renewed Hope Global to increase access to free online academic programs for young people in Nigeria.

The not-for-profit online university said it will expand its work in Nigeria, where it already teaches over 5,000 students. The partnership will provide more Nigerian youth with free, high-quality education in technical and quantitative subjects.

In a LinkedIn post, the university confirmed its commitment to Nigeria and expressed enthusiasm about working with Renewed Hope Global. John Endrud, Chief Executive Officer of WorldQuant University, said the partnership will help expand access to online technical programs across the country.

WorldQuant University operates as a tuition-free institution and enrolls students in more than 150 countries. It is accredited by the Distance Education Accrediting Commission and focuses on delivering online education designed to build practical and analytical skills.

Renewed Hope Global describes itself as a virtual engagement platform aligned with the reform agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The initiative is sponsored by the Presidency under the Renewed Hope Administration.

The platform holds moderated virtual sessions on weekends that focus on government policies and reform strategies. Joseph K. Adebola, Chief Host and CEO of the Renewed Hope Global Virtual Town Hall Conference, leads the discussions. These sessions help citizens and senior government officials engage in structured dialogue.

The partnership places online technical education within Nigeria’s broader push to strengthen digital skills and workforce capacity. As the country continues to prioritise economic reform and digital development, both organisations say the collaboration will support efforts to equip young Nigerians with skills needed in a changing global economy.
