Nigerian philanthropist donates \u00a310m to King\u2019s College London to empower African students <\/strong><\/p>\n

Aare Afe Babalola: benefactor to King\u2019s College London<\/p><\/div>\n

A NIGERIAN philanthropist has donated \u00a310 million to King\u2019s College London to establish a centre that will provide young Africans with better access to education and opportunities.<\/p>\n

The Aare Afe Babalola African Centre for Transnational Education will offer blended and online programmes, ensuring access to students who have had their journey to higher education disrupted by conflict, displacement, or other transitions.<\/p>\n

It will also offer post-graduate level modules which can be brought together to create professionally recognised qualifications from diplomas to Masters degrees.<\/p>\n

The funding by Afe Babalola, a lawyer, will also provide scholarships to support bright students who would not otherwise be able to access these programmes, generating valuable knowledge about the nature and impact of transnational education on Africa\u2019s development, according to King\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cPartnering with King’s College London, to me one of the first universities in the world to appreciate the power of education to provide quality education for the under-privileged in the 1960s, is a project that is dear to my heart,\u201d said Afe Babalola, 93.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the more so because education is the unquestionable panacea to ignorance, poverty, extremism, religious bigotry, and tribalism among other vices.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy contribution to this programme is a way of reciprocating what I benefitted from the laudable and unique External Degree Programme of the University of London in the 1960s, without which I certainly would have ended up an unsung farmer or at best the secretary of the local motor union,\u201d Afe Babalola added.<\/p>\n

King\u2019s said that a bespoke programme for Africa would be developed in partnership with the University of London and an alliance of leading African universities.<\/p>\n

\u201cModules will focus on topics that give talented young people society-relevant knowledge and skills that can improve their own lives, their communities, and their futures \u2013 such as law, health, engineering, peace and security, and leadership,\u201d King\u2019s said<\/p>\n

\u201cThis vision is inspired by Afe Babalola\u2019s own experiences of growing up without easy access to high quality education and benefitting from the transformative power of remote learning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis allowed him to study from his home in Nigeria and to graduate with degrees in economics and law from the University of London,\u201d King\u2019s added<\/p>\n

Professor Shitij Kapur, President and Principal of King’s College, said: \u201cThis partnership reflects a shared belief by King\u2019s and Aare Babalola in the power of education and its role in service to society \u2013 the ethos upon which King\u2019s was founded nearly 200 years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore than 450 million African youth are between the ages of 15-35, with less than 10 per cent enrolled in post-secondary education, making the issue of access to quality education all the more urgent.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted that Aare Babalola\u2019s donation provides a valuable opportunity to strengthen and grow our work with partners in Africa and deliver transformative education within the region,\u201d Professor Kapur added.<\/p>\n

King\u2019s noted that its partnership with the University of London would build on \u201clong-standing commitment to Africa and a legacy of working in true collaboration with African academics and institutions to deliver education and impactful research partnerships in the region for the benefit of all\u201d.<\/p>\n

A key example of this, is the African Leadership Centre (ALC), which was established at King\u2019s and in Kenya, in collaboration with the University of Nairobi, to \u201cdevelop a new community of African leaders, generating cutting-edge knowledge for peace, security and development in Africa\u201d.<\/p>\n

Professor \u2018Funmi Olonisakin, Vice-President International, Engagement and Service, and Professor of Security, Leadership and Development at the ALC, said: \u201cDriven by our shared vision for youth education in Africa, the Afe Babalola African Centre for Transnational Education will deliver an enduring legacy for Africa\u2019s talented young people: access to life-changing, society-relevant, and work-ready educational opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe programme has been informed by rich consultation with our longstanding partners in Africa and rigorous research activity to understand the complex underlying challenges and will be delivered at a scale that allows us to target and meaningfully reach underserved communities, wherever they are located.\u201d<\/p>\n

The University of London also has a long-standing relationship with Nigeria\u2019s National Universities Commission, which co-delivers annual symposia for higher education leaders.<\/p>\n

Professor Wendy Thomson, Vice-Chancellor of the University of London, noted: \u201cThe partnership and resource made possible by this generous gift from Aare Babalola offers a timely opportunity for us to develop transnational education programmes for young Africans in collaboration with King\u2019s College London and a network of African institutions, that would not otherwise be possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are deeply grateful to Aare Babalola for his foresight and appreciation of the value education brings to personal and social development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the centre being established in his name, we will develop quality transnational programmes that will leave an enduring legacy,\u201d Professor Thomson added.<\/p>\n

The University of London pioneered distance learning in the 19th<\/sup> century and today provides online and distance education programmes to 45,000 learners studying in their home countries around the world.<\/p>\n
