Speaking on the development, the founder, Adeyemi C. Aderinto, addressed concerns about whether SQI is deviating from its core ICT focus.

He said: “SQI is taking ICT where it belongs. The function of ICT is to empower other industries and shouldn’t be a standalone. No industry takes you today with just the knowledge of ICT. So, schools are not meant to be delivering any course any longer without ICT, and this is what SQI is pioneering. Our accredited Accounting course is with ICT, and Business Administration is with ICT.”
