Nnamdi Azikiwe University and Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University under the leadership of Prof Carol Arinze-umobi and Prof Kate Omenugha respectively have emerged the  only Nigerian Universities selected to receive European Union grant and Project valued at €400,000.

Their African counterparts from Uganda are MAT ABACUS Business School and Makerere University Business School (MUBS). Joining them are three prominent European partners: Universidade de Lisboa (Portugal), Stichting VU (Netherlands), and Uganda Chapter for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), alongside consulting firm Sejjaaka Kaawaase & Co..

‎The project seeks to empower young accounting graduates in Nigeria and Uganda with practical, in-demand employability skills through a structured Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) model.

The grant will fund this ambitious effort over a 24-month period and will involve extensive collaboration between eight prestigious institutions across four countries.

‎The  project will benefit over 3,000 students and staff in Nigeria and Uganda, and will focus on critical activities such as curriculum redesign, development of a WIL quality control framework, industry-academia engagement strategies, and capacity building through student and staff mobility programmes.
