Igbinedion University, Okada, one of Nigeria’s leading private universities, has entered a strategic partnership with EduTech Global to accelerate its digital learning ambitions and expand access to its academic programmes to students in the country.
 
Through the partnership, EduTech will provide digital learning infrastructure and technology support for the University’s Distance Learning Centre (DLC), thereby enabling learners to access quality university education beyond the conventional campus environment.
 
The partnership reflects the institution’s ambition to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving higher education landscape by combining its academic heritage with technology, innovation and new models of learning that contribute to national workforce development.

Speaking on the partnership, the Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Lawrence Ezemonye, said the collaboration represented a significant step in the university’s ambition to produce graduates equipped for national and global impact.
 
He said: “At Igbinedion University, our mandate has always been to lead in producing graduates equipped for national and global impact. This partnership with EduTech Global represents a bold step into the future of higher education in Nigeria.
 
“By expanding our digital learning infrastructure, we are not just breaking down geographical barriers; we are actively contributing to national workforce development by ensuring that quality, industry-aligned education is accessible to every driven learner, regardless of location.”
 
In his remarks, Director, Igbinedion University Distance Learning Centre, Prof. Gideon Bawa, said the university was motivated by the opportunity to transform its existing processes, which had hitherto been handled manually, and build a more efficient and scalable distance learning model.
 
Technology Officer at EduTech Global, Femi Shonubi, pointed out that technology has been redefining the boundaries of what a university can offer, adding that EduTech’s role extends beyond simply putting courses online.
