Students, Experience The Quality of Tekedia CollegeBoost – Advanced Diploma in Business Administration

By

When we designed Tekedia CollegeBoost, we did not know that it was going to have this level of impact on college students across Africa. Tekedia CollegeBoost is an Advanced Diploma in Business Administration designed for students. It involves an 8-week program which could be broken into two semesters or taken in one semester, depending on the arrangement with students.

To design the course, I went back to my time in Federal University of Technology Owerri (Nigeria) and asked myself: “what could have made me better on FUTO Bubbles, Ultinet Systems and my readiness for the industry?”

FUTO Bubbles was my campus newsmagazine which I published and edited while a student. And Ultinet Systems was the first company I sold, in Jos, post-NYSC, on my way leaving town. Ultinet Systems did the installation of NYSC Jos secretariat structured office wiring, making me an NYSC member with a contract with NYSC! But as I left town, I sold all contracts.

For young people in college, they do not need to go through my learning on the fly: we created Tekedia CollegeBoost. We have upgraded our target to 50,000 students this year.

And today, Tekedia CollegeBoost clubs are forming on campuses, with some sharing photos. Students, your schools have prepared you, excellently, we only want to deepen your readiness for the markets. Talk to Eyitayo Adeleke about your school.

We prepared those courses to have meaningful impacts on your careers. I am truly honoured that many responded positively. I want to welcome you again to Tekedia Institute CollegeBoost. Very magical seeing these photos from across campuses. Your continent is looking unto you and at the Institute, we will continue to develop training programs that will support your already amazing school programs in universities. If your school is not already Boosted by Tekedia Institute, talk to Eyitayo Adeleke.

Digging Small and Big Data for Ibadan Real Estate Market

Everywhere the music remains that the new oil is data. And it has been noted by professionals and academics that businesses that embrace data-driven culture will always stand tall in terms of creating and delivering tailored value to every stakeholder. The preliminary result of our analysis of real estate market landscape in Nigeria shows that the market is mainly concentrated in Lagos, Abuja, Port-Harcourt and Kano when one considers expected formalised processes for operational activities in the market.

However, as our earlier report Ibadan Data Economy shows, it is clear that Ibadan is gaining some level of traction in modern means of curating, mining and refining data for developing solutions to various socioeconomic challenges. From traditional to modern research approaches, small and big data can be collected, analysed and drawing insights for smart decision making.

Harvesting small data through traditional research approaches such as survey, in-depth interview, experimental, observation among others, have the capacity of increasing developers, realtors, investors, engineers, builders and prospective homeowners’ knowledge about where to find land, what to build, how to build it and how to price including marketing it. As good as the traditional approaches in getting the needed data, they are mainly limited to what they can collect in static time, a deficit, which numerous modern data collection tools such as Google Trends, Hadoop, Apache, MapReduce among others are eliminating.

As people demographics keep changing and the city experiences new developments, it is time for the stakeholders to prioritise decision making with the adoption of the two data categories. This means placing the city along with other developed real estate markets in the country and possibly getting it ahead of them.

As it is being done in other developed markets in Nigeria and other countries,  land acquisition, building, marketing and selling, and maintenance decisions need to be made after exploration of large datasets that encompass both demographics and psychographics of every stakeholder. In the developed markets, “home prices are not just driven by having nearby grocery stores. Rather, they are driven by access to the right quantity, mix, and quality of community features.”

When traditional approaches are employed mostly, they have the tendency of drawing hypotheses needed towards the choice of alternatives before making a decision difficult.  Available information suggests that “resident surveys, mobile phone signal patterns, and reviews of local restaurants can help identify “hyperlocal” patterns—granular trends at the city block level rather than at the city level.” Digging and using big data will also help in averting risks associated with land acquisition, construction, marketing and selling, and maintenance of varied real estate products.

A Case for NYSC

By

One sign of a failing administration is when you see people that ought to correct perceived abnormalities in a system, decisively concentrating efforts in destroying institutions that they neither have a better alternative for, or can make it work better to achieve set goals.

How do you begin passing a bill to scrap the ONLY institution that brings the entire educational system of a nation together? A system that have continued to survive the fragmentation of the Nation?

If not for the NYSC scheme and considering the uneven distribution of factors of production in Nigeria, Oghenero who just graduated from Delsu will not voluntarily agree to go take up a teaching assignment in a faraway Zamfara village that seldom boosts of quality teachers in their rural schools.

Also, it is on record that some of the few credible elections conducted in Nigeria abundantly sourced their organizers from the pool of the NYSC scheme.

And believe me, a large chunk of the Nigerian youths that passed through this scheme earned ideally earned their first salary from this scheme, which transcended to a sense of worthiness for them, whereas, so many are yet to find such an engagement that will earn them such a living till date.

The NYSC scheme has continued and remains the only institution that has continued to build in the mind of the Nigerian graduate a sense of national interest and togetherness. Is it not on record that most schools in far-reached States only get to see economic boom and witness quick educational heights during the influx of the NYSC participants?

In many organizations, agencies, parastatals and several other States and Federal civil commissions, these NYSC assignees continues to inject fresh ideas, technological innovations into their day to day undertakings.

Against all odds, the scheme continues to be a breeding ground for the discovery of talents hitherto not seen while in the academic environment because, at this level, participants are prepared for the market and on how to become self-sufficient and contribute to the development of their immediate communities, States and the nation as a whole.

At this junction, is it not imperative that the Acts that set up this scheme be revisited and the obsolete portions be expunged and then replaced with current trends? I once again, leave this with the relevant body saddled with this onerous responsibility (the legislative arm of government) to take a rather cursory view of this issue and make necessary adjustments, all in a bid to ensure that this scheme that have benefitted the Nigerian graduate and succeeded in bringing the National interest to bare be rescued.
