Partnership with Astria Learning opens OAU degrees to working professionals and learners beyond Ile-Ife, with the first cohort scheduled for January 2027.
Ile-Ife, Nigeria – May 19, 2026 — Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) has signed a Memorandum of Agreement with Astria Learning, on May 13, 2026, to establish the OAU eCampus, a fully online platform that will deliver the University’s accredited programmes to learners across Nigeria, West Africa, and the diaspora.
The OAU eCampus advances the University’s strategic plan to extend quality education beyond the Ile-Ife campus while preserving the academic standards that have defined OAU for more than six decades. Every programme delivered through the eCampus will be the same accredited OAU degree offered on campus, taught by OAU faculty and governed by OAU’s existing academic policies.
Founded in 1962, Obafemi Awolowo University is one of Nigeria’s foremost public universities, recognised across West Africa for academic rigour, research output, and the generations of leaders it has trained. The eCampus is designed to carry that legacy further, reaching students who have not previously been able to relocate to Ile-Ife to study.
