AI and the Future of Universities: What Should Nigerian Universities Be Teaching Now?
Level 1 - AI Literacy for Everyone
This introductory level provides participants with a foundational understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its growing impact on universities and higher education. It introduces key AI concepts, current applications of AI in teaching, learning, research, assessment, and university administration, and the changing skills that graduates will need in an AI-driven economy.The course also examines the opportunities and challenges of AI in Nigerian higher education, including academic integrity, bias, misinformation, privacy, over-reliance on AI, and the changing role of lecturers and students. Participants will begin to consider how universities can move beyond simply adopting AI tools towards rethinking what they teach, how they teach it, and the competencies graduates need to remain relevant in the future of work.

Level 2 - AI Application Skills
This seminar examines how artificial intelligence is reshaping higher education and the skills universities need to develop for an increasingly AI-driven economy. It moves beyond an introduction to AI to critically examine its implications for university curricula, teaching and learning, assessment, research, graduate employability, and the future of academic work.Participants will explore the changing skills and competencies required by employers, assess the limitations of traditional curricula, and consider how AI literacy, data literacy, critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, ethical reasoning, and AI governance can be incorporated into university education. The seminar also considers the opportunities and risks associated with generative AI, including academic integrity, bias, privacy, responsible use, and human oversight.Using practical examples and guided discussion, participants will develop recommendations for making Nigerian universities more responsive to technological change and better preparing graduates for an AI-enabled workplace. The session concludes by considering what universities should teach differently, teach additionally, or stop teaching as AI becomes increasingly capable.

Level 3 - AI Creation and Governance
This seminar explores how artificial intelligence is transforming universities and examines what Nigerian higher education institutions should teach to prepare students for an AI-driven economy. It considers the impact of AI on teaching, learning, research, assessment, academic and professional roles, and graduate employability.Participants will critically examine the changing balance between technical AI skills, data literacy, disciplinary knowledge, critical thinking, creativity, communication, problem-solving, and ethical judgement. The seminar will also consider challenges including academic integrity, AI bias, privacy, responsible AI use, and governance.Using the Nigerian higher-education context, participants will evaluate whether existing curricula remain fit for purpose and explore practical approaches to curriculum redesign, AI literacy, interdisciplinary education, and industry-aligned skills development. The session aims to move beyond simply teaching students to use AI towards developing graduates who can understand, evaluate, govern, and responsibly apply AI in their professional fields.
