According to Hacker Rank, Nigeria is currently ranked nos 48
country with the best developers in the world.
Interestingly it is not the US home to the silicon valley
and some of the greatest tech gurus like Bill Gates that came tops. China and
Russia according to the study were the two best countries. Poland took a close
third. The US is 28th position even though they have more
programmers and developers participating in the challenges than other countries.
Hacker Rank is a programming site that regularly posts tens
of thousands of new coding challenges for developers from around the world to participate
and improve their coding skills. Developers are scored and ranked based on a
combination of their accuracy and speed. Hacker Rank got this result by
analysing the countries that perform best at its programming challenges.
For a country like Nigeria, this is definitely hope that
young people can excel in tech and ICT despite all of the challenges back home
and minimal support compared to some of the higher ranked countries in this
study.
