Astria Learning has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the ๐จ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ป (๐จ๐), Nigeria’s first university, to establish the ๐จ๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฝ๐๐, a fully integrated, AI-powered digital campus that will deliver the University’s accredited postgraduate programmes to learners across Nigeria, Africa, and the diaspora.
The agreement formalises a partnership that began earlier this year, when a senior University of Ibadan delegation led by the Vice-Chancellor visited Astria Learning’s operations in Malawi to benchmark the University of Malawi eCampus. The signing marks the transition from exploration to execution.

Established in 1948, the University of Ibadan is Nigeria’s oldest university and one of Africa’s foremost centres of teaching and research. With more than 50,000 students across 17 faculties and over 140 academic departments, UI has shaped generations of scholars, leaders, and professionals across the continent.
Under the MOU, the UI eCampus will extend the University’s academic programmes into a structured digital environment. Astria Learning will provide the platform, technical infrastructure, capacity-building tools, and operational support, while UI retains full academic authority, faculty oversight, and responsibility for quality assurance.
The first phase of the eCampus will focus on postgraduate diploma and master’s degree programmes in disciplines with strong demand for flexible learning, including Business Administration, Education, and Information Technology. Additional programmes will follow as the platform scales.

The UI eCampus joins a growing network of Astria Learning university partnerships across Africa, including the University of Malawi, the Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources, and the University of Cape Coast in Ghana, alongside active engagements with the University of Nairobi and the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission. Each partnership is built on the same principle: the university leads on academics, Astria Learning builds the digital infrastructure, and the two work together to widen access.
