Welcome to the Africa Centre of Excellence (ACE) at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) ICT-Driven Knowledge Park, a beacon of innovation and excellence in engineering and technology education across Africa.
Our mission is rooted in transforming postgraduate education and research into a catalyst for socio-economic growth. At ACE, we are committed to training the next generation of engineers, researchers, educators, and technopreneurs who will not only recognise and understand the immense potential of emerging global technology movements but also leverage these innovations to drive sustainable development in Africa and beyond.
Through state-of-the-art facilities, including our newly established Design Studio—the first of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa—and cutting-edge research laboratories, we provide a world-class learning environment. From autonomous systems and machine intelligence to Industry 4.0 applications, our students and researchers are at the forefront of groundbreaking advancements, developing real-world solutions for pressing challenges.
At ACE, collaboration is key. Our partnerships with industry leaders, global innovators, and academic institutions ensure that our graduates are equipped with practical, industry-relevant skills and are poised to make a meaningful impact in the global arena. The achievements of our Centre, including the ICT Knowledge Garden and advanced automation solutions, are a testament to our commitment to excellence and innovation.
We invite you to explore the opportunities ACE offers, whether you are a prospective student, researcher, industry partner, or innovator. Join us as we chart a path towards a brighter, tech-driven future for Africa.

Develop a center of excellence in ICT as a training hub in software engineering for Nigeria and other countries in the sub-region.
Develop the next generation of scientists, researchers, teachers, entrepreneurs and product developers in the area of ICT through appropriate practice-anchored capacity building measures and enrolling new postgraduate students from Nigeria and the sub-region.
Stimulate creativity and excellence in research and innovation in ICT applicable to other fields and related to regional developmental objectives, in postgraduate students, with opportunities for industrial research uptake through the Centre model.
Expand learning opportunities for postgraduate students in all the sectors, by deploying existing and new developments in ICT, for which OAU is leading in the sub-region.
Leverage on the intellectual infrastructure and output of the university to serve as the launch pad for start-up ICT companies borne out of university research activities, by partnering companies. For example the OAU Phase I Centre of Excellence in Software Engineering exhibited two software developed within the short space of its existence recently, causing CHAMS Nigeria PLC (an industry-partner in this initiative as well) to enter into an Agreement to establish its software development hub at the University. The Centre will be the natural habitat for moreof such developments.
With unwavering commitment, we ensure unparalleled quality within the industry. Our guarantee stands as a testament to our dedication to excellence.
In the realm of construction, we are the cor neuston of innovation and quality, shaping skylines and communities.
