IIOE Nigeria National Centre Launch Ceremony

UNESCO Priority Africa and External Relations Sector, UNESCO-ICHEI, UNESCO Abuja Office, the Nigerian Ministry of Education, the National Universities Commission of Nigeria, and Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) will jointly organise the IIOE Nigeria National Centre launch ceremony.

The International Institute of Online Education (IIOE) was launched by UNESCO-ICHEI together with 11 African and Asian Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) , 9 global EdTech enterprises, and 4 HEIs in China in December 2019, with the vision to support the realisation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) and the Education 2030 Agenda by empowering the digital transformation of higher education systems. IIOE National Centre initiative was proposed by UNESCO-ICHEI in order to better serve the needs of HEIs in developing countries in terms of digital transformation. IIOE National Centres will serve as national and regional hubs for higher education digital transformation through building national IIOE networks, capacity building, curricula development and sharing, research and technical support.

The establishment of the IIOE Nigeria National Centre will serve to empower the country's higher education through digital transformation in alignment with the nation's development strategies. Leveraging the global network and expertise of IIOE, IIOE Nigeria National Centre will play an important role in bridging UNESCO-ICHEI, national authorities and the higher education community in Nigeria to realise a more sustainable, inclusive and equitable future.
