President/Vice Chancellor of Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State , Prof. Afolarin Ojewole, has reaffirmed the institution’s dedication to national development and bridging the knowledge gap between academia and industry.
He emphasized this commitment during a recent courtesy visit and interactive session with the top management team of TVC Communication at their headquarters in Eko Atlantic City, Lagos.
Babcock University according to Prof. Ojewole, is expanding its corporate social responsibility beyond advocacy for women empowerment in media
He pledged the university's readiness to empower professionals across gender lines through its partnership with Television Continental (TVC) and others.
“Babcock prepares people for the real world"
“The skills students need go beyond the classroom, involving storytelling, production, teamwork and meeting real deadlines – and those grow when people work together and build the Nigeria we want," he stated
Under an existing partnership first signed in 2022, Babcock University provides training for 20 TVC female staff pursuing Postgraduate Diploma, MBA, and M.A. programmes in exchange for media services.
Receiving the Babcock University team, TVC Group MD/CEO, Mrs. Victoria Ajayi, alongside Director, People, Culture and Experience, Kemi Shonubi; Manager, People, Culture and Experience, Victoria Erhahi; and Manager, PR and Corporate Communication and Marketing, Edward Akintara, expressed delight at the proposed renewal of the partnership.
“We are glad to know that Babcock is maximizing the partnership for growth. Not many institutions are able to recognize the full potential of the power of the media beyond event coverage,” said Mrs. Ajayi. “Today, we are witnessing the visit of an institution’s CEO who understands the power of the media to best position its products.”
Earlier, Senior Reporter, Sharon Ijasan, a member of the TVC Women Network and one of earlier beneficiaries of the MoU signed four years ago, shared her excitement that the collaboration will continue to create opportunities for women’s advancement while strengthening their resolve to break the glass ceiling in corporate boardrooms.
Since inception, several others have benefitted from the programme.
Beyond TVC, Babcock University also maintains collaborations with other media partners, furthering its mission to empower professionals and raise globally relevant graduates.
