The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has introduced a new programme called the Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Business Incubation Certification (EIBIC), which will lead to students receiving double certificates upon graduation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof. Ayodele Atsenuwa, the university\u2019s deputy vice chancellor for development services, announced this during the programme\u2019s launch yesterday at UNILAG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atsenuwa said the EIBIC programme was designed to start with 100-level students and aimed to bridge socioeconomic gaps in the country while preparing students for the future job market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He stressed that entrepreneurship was crucial for economic growth and that the EIBIC programme is a Senate-approved course at UNILAG, not merely an optional activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof. Sunday Adebisi, the Director of the Entrepreneurship and Skill Development Centre, explained that students will receive EIBIC certificates in addition to their respective degree certificates upon completion of the programme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This, he said, makes UNILAG the first university to offer two honours or degrees, ensuring that students complete both the EIBIC programme and their academic degrees before graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adebisi said the programme\u2019s calendar has been designed, making it mandatory for students to complete it to receive their degree awards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The goal is to equip students with dual capacities, enhancing their employability and entrepreneurial skills, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
