Two Nigerian universities — Ekiti State University (EKSU) and Babcock University — have been selected to participate in a British Council-funded project aimed at transforming university education in Nigeria.

The project, backed by the British Council, is part of ongoing efforts to reform higher education in the country by promoting entrepreneurship, the circular economy, and peacebuilding as core components of university curricula.

According to the British Council, the initiative is designed to prepare Nigerian graduates for modern global challenges, with a focus on sustainability, innovation, and conflict-sensitive development.

The selection of EKSU and Babcock marks a significant step in implementing the National Universities Commission’s new Core Curriculum and Minimum Academic Standards (CCMAS), which encourages universities to integrate practical and socially relevant content into academic programmes.

Speaking on the development, the Country Director of the British Council in Nigeria, Lucy Pearson, said the project will provide selected universities with technical support, international collaboration opportunities, and capacity building to enable effective curriculum transformation.

Officials from both EKSU and Babcock University expressed their readiness to fully engage with the project, noting that it aligns with their existing efforts to provide education that is both academic and practical.

The project is expected to serve as a model for other Nigerian universities and could influence future collaborations between Nigerian institutions and international partners in reimagining tertiary education for national development.
