Thomas Adewumi University Signs MoU with University of Abidjan to Strengthen International Collaboration

Thomas Adewumi University (TAU) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the University of Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, in a move aimed at strengthening international collaboration and advancing the university’s globalisation and internationalisation efforts.

The partnership is expected to open opportunities for:

• Enhanced language education and multilingual development. • Academic and cultural exchanges. • Student mobility and exchange programmes. • Joint research, publications, and conferences. • Collaborative teaching and capacity-building initiatives.

Speaking during the signing ceremony, the Vice-Chancellor of Thomas Adewumi University, Prof. Francisca O. Oladipo, reaffirmed the institution’s commitment to producing globally competitive graduates through international partnerships and language proficiency.

A major highlight of the ceremony was a presentation by Ms. Adunni Oladunjoye, a 500-level Nursing student, who delivered her vote of thanks entirely in French after only four months of intensive training at TAU’s Foreign Language Centre.

The university said the partnership reflects its commitment to raising global citizens and represents another step towards connecting its students with international opportunities while preparing them for success in an increasingly interconnected world.

Thomas Adewumi University stated that it would continue to build bridges across nations, languages and cultures as part of its drive for global excellence.
