PARTNERING WITH UNESCO WOULD PUT AL-HIKMAH UNIVERSITY ON A GLOBAL MAP – UNESCO TEAM LEAD
The
delegates of the United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) led by Mrs Ajayi Grace stated that
Al-Hikmah University would gain Global recognition by partnering with UNESCO in
area of research.
Mrs Ajayi expressed
this in a courtesy visit to the University Management on 2nd July,
2021. She added that UNESCO has two
programmes for tertiary institutions: the UNESCO Chair and the UNESCO Uni-twin
programmes. She further, revealed that UNESCO Chair is an international network of over 770
institutions in 126 countries in which Al-Hikmah University can key into. She added
Al-Hikmah University only needs to identify an area/field and conduct a
credible research that would benefit the institution and the world at large.
The Uni-twin Programme according to her is a network that brings different universities
together to share experience and research of global interest.
She, however, pointed out that UNESCO does not
fund project but it can facilitate research grants for universities after
confirming the level of commitment of the institution.
The Vice Chancellor, Al-Hikmah University, Prof. Noah Yusuf in his remarks urged UNESCO to showcase the University especially with the novel idea of the University which has to do with the Secondary School Mentoring programme.
The Vice Chancellor added that one of the corporate social responsibility packages of Al-Hikmah University is to train teachers and students on how to maximize their potentials. In his words “if UNESCO showcases Al-Hikmah University, other institution would emulate the institutions and this would reduce banditry and terrorism in Nigeria”.
The Dean of Postgraduate School, Prof. A.O.Y.
Raji assured the team that UNESCO would be proud of Al-Hikmah University in
this partnership.
On his
own part, the Dean of the Faculty of Education, Dr. Paul Akinubi, urged the
team to formalize the collaboration. He added that partnering with UNESCO would
increase the enrolment of international students in the institution.
