Covenant University and an international capacity development and
consulting firm, Canada Executive Management and Professional Centre
(CEMP), have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on a partnership
that will see the University running Professional Management Courses
and its students enjoying research grants from international agencies.
Speaking at the MoU signing ceremony on Thursday, February 2, 2017
at the University campus in Ota, Ogun State, the Vice-President,
International Engagement, CEMP, Dr. Yomi Oyekoya, said that, the formal
agreement between his organization and Covenant University entails the
University starting Project Management courses in partnership with the
Project Management Institute (PMI) in the United States.
The PMI, he explained, gives out a Registered Education Provider
(REP) license to institutions to run Project Management courses and
Covenant University would be granted a similar license very soon.
No other organization, according to Dr. Oyekoya, runs Project Management Courses like the PMI. “In
Nigeria, many people travel abroad to take the courses. Some
universities in Nigeria currently have Project Management Courses but
the certificate is not recognized abroad. However, PMI’s certificate is
recognized all over the world,” he said.
Running the Project Management Courses in Covenant University, he
enthused, will draw many people, especially top executives, to the
University. “No institution in Nigeria has the PMI Registered Education
Provider license. Covenant University will be the first in Nigeria and
third in Africa to have the license,” he added.
Expressing his happiness that Covenant University was joining the
league of top universities in the world to start Project Management
Certification, the CEMP representative noted that project management
fits into every discipline and it’s for everybody.
Dr. Oyekoya further stated that aside the plan for Covenant
University to run Project Management Courses, CEMP had in a bid to help
the University achieve its goals under the Research, Citation,
Innovation and Teaching (ReCiTe) Agenda, discovered the availability of a
grant in the region of $5 billion, from which students of African
universities, including Covenant University can benefit.
Following the brief MoU signing ceremony, which was supervised by
members of the Covenant University legal team, the Vice-Chancellor,
Professor AAA. Atayero, in his remarks, expressed optimism that with the
University being the third in Africa to get the PMI Registered
Education Provider license, it will take the institution to a new
height.
“This keys into the University’s Vision of being one of the top
10 universities in the world in another five years; I pray it quickens
the speed of its delivery,” said the Vice-Chancellor.
Dr. Oyekoya was accompanied to the event by CEMP’s Brand
Communication Director, Dr. Kunle Hamilton; Head, International Business
Research, Dr. Babajimi Hammond; Legal Adviser, Ms. Bunmi Ogunye; and
Creative Manager, Mr. Owodunni Otunuga.
Other Covenant University representatives were the Deputy
Vice-Chancellor, Professor Shalom Chinedu; Registrar, Mrs. Mary Aboyade;
Director, Financial Services, Pastor Bayo Oladehinbo; Dean, College of
Business and Social Sciences, Professor Francis Iyoha; including
Directors and Heads of Departments.
