NSUK and University of Dar es Salaam Establish Strategic Academic Partnership

The Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK) has significantly advanced its internationalization agenda through a newly forged strategic partnership with the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. 

The collaboration was formalized during a high-level interface led by the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the NSUK Governing Council, Professor Attahiru Muhammad Jega. This engagement is a key component of NSUK’s wider East Africa Linkage Mission, which seeks to deepen cross-border academic diplomacy and research innovation. 

The partnership focuses on several pillars designed to enhance the global standing of both institutions: 

Academic Exchange: Establishing robust frameworks for staff and student mobility between Nigeria and Tanzania.

Collaborative Research: Advancing joint studies aimed at developing home-grown solutions for African developmental challenges.

Capacity Building: Strengthening institutional management and professional development through shared expertise.

Science Diplomacy: Utilizing higher education as a tool to strengthen ties between African nations, supported by Nigerian diplomatic missions in East Africa. 

This resolution follows a series of strategic moves by the NSUK Information and Protocol Unit to position the university as a leading research hub. Recent activities include: 

High-powered meetings with renowned Pan-Africanist Professor PLO Lumumba in Nairobi.

Engagements with the Tanzanian Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, James Kinyasi Millya, to advocate for intellectual-led regional growth.

Formalized "Waste-to-Wealth" green economy partnerships with Digital Peers International. 

The NSUK management reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring these international partnerships translate into tangible academic and societal impacts.
