The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has made history by introducing the EIBIC programme (Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Business Incubation Certification). This initiative marks a significant milestone, positioning UNILAG as the trailblazer among Nigerian universities by offering students the opportunity to attain dual honours simultaneously.
Under the visionary leadership of UNILAG’s Deputy Vice Chancellor for Development Services, Prof. Ayodele Atsenuwa, the institution unveiled the EIBIC programme with great fanfare. Atsenuwa, in his address during the launch event at the prestigious Akoka campus on Monday, April 22, emphasized the program’s pivotal role in addressing socioeconomic disparities within Nigeria.
The EIBIC programme, meticulously crafted and approved by the UNILAG Senate, stands as a testament to the university’s commitment to innovation and academic excellence. Prof. Atsenuwa elucidated how the programme is strategically designed to equip students with the requisite skills and knowledge to thrive in the evolving job market landscape. He underscored the critical importance of entrepreneurship in driving economic growth and fostering societal development.
Furthermore, Prof. Sunday Adebisi, the esteemed Director of the Entrepreneurship and Skill Development Centre at UNILAG, elaborated on the transformative potential of the EIBIC programme. Adebisi highlighted its dual-focused approach, aiming to enhance both employability and entrepreneurial acumen among graduating students. He assured stakeholders that the programme’s comprehensive calendar ensures seamless integration with existing academic requirements, facilitating a holistic educational experience.
In light of recent misinformation circulating on social media platforms, UNILAG swiftly addressed speculations regarding the offering of free online courses. The university’s management, in a statement signed by its representatives, clarified that UNILAG is not currently providing such courses and emphasized the importance of relying on official communication channels for accurate information dissemination.
In conclusion, UNILAG’s pioneering initiative with the introduction of the EIBIC programme heralds a new era of academic innovation and empowerment within the Nigerian educational landscape. With its unwavering commitment to excellence and forward-thinking approach, UNILAG continues to inspire and lead by example, setting a benchmark for other institutions to emulate.
