Someone is enjoying some shade today, because someone planted a tree in the past!
Thirty students of the Federal University, Dutsin-Ma (FUDMA), Katsina State and their lecturers paid a visit to NIRA on 12th January 2016, as part of their academic visit to Lagos. This is part of the curriculum of the student’s academic year at the 300 level. The students were exposed to the rudiments of the DNS industry, the business of becoming a Registrar/Reseller as well as NiRA’s policies and operations.
NiRA is committed to grooming entrepreneurs in the DNS industry, and does not hesitate exposing Nigerian students to the different areas of the DNS Industry and how they can apply the knowledge gained in and outside the University environment. We look forward to more opportunities that will actualize our plans and passion for increasing the quality of Education in Nigeria, which we believe will directly impact on the awareness of the .ng brand. We are pleased that the FUDMA students enjoyed their trip to NiRA and we wish them the best in their academic pursuits.
