University Of Lagos Launches Global Center For Publishing Studies

The University of Abuja has launched the International Institute for Publishing Studies, aiming to revolutionize printing in Africa. The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Abdul-Rasheed Na’Allah, revealed this during a press conference in Abuja. He highlighted that the UIIPS addresses the absence of a professional Publishing Studies program in Nigeria.

Na’Allah emphasized the initiative’s goal to uphold academic standards and professional values in publishing, locally and globally. He underscored the potential of the program to enhance skills across various sectors, including academia, private enterprise, government, and law enforcement.

The institute offers students opportunities for hands-on learning with cutting-edge facilities and networking with esteemed scholars from around the world. Admission will be conducted twice a year, with intakes scheduled for April and August, and plans for subsequent intakes in January and August.

Comparing the institute to renowned counterparts in Western nations like Oxford University and University College London, Na’Allah expressed confidence in its potential to reshape publishing in Nigeria and Africa at large. He urged individuals, corporations, and government agencies to engage with the institute for top-notch publishing services.

Prof. Wolumati Ogbondah, the Institute’s Director, emphasized its role in addressing challenges posed by untrained individuals in the publishing sector. He announced the recruitment of international experts to provide both academic and non-academic services, inviting interested parties to leverage the institute for skill acquisition and enhancement in publishing.

The establishment of the International Institute for Publishing Studies marks a significant milestone in advancing the publishing landscape in Nigeria and beyond.
