NOUN unveils Olusegun Obasanjo Centre for African Studies

Vice-Chancellor of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Prof. Abdalla Uba Adamu, has said that the institution will continue to make efforts at ensuring that it remains among the topmost educational institutions engaged in cutting-edge research.

Adamu stated this at the unveiling ceremony of the university’s newly revamped Olusegun Obasanjo Centre for African Studies (OOCAS).

According to him, the Centre, formerly known as the Olusegun Obasanjo Centre for Good Governance, was redesigned to widen its scope to meet with happenings in the contemporary society and also with a view to creating more avenues to research more on Africa as a whole.

Adamu further said the Centre is open to collaboration with local and international scholars willing to dissect Africa towards the goal of producing cutting-edge research that would showcase the African story.
