Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo State, has announced that its graduates will now receive three certificates upon completion of their studies.

This initiative is described as a major feat in the history of tertiary education in Nigeria, Vice-Chancellor Prof. Timothy Adebayo, has said.

He stated that the certification included the standard degree certificate, a Mind Education certificate, and an Entrepreneurship Training certificate.

This announcement was contained in a statement on Monday.
According to the statement, the announcement became imperative following a visit by Mind Education experts from China and Korea, who were at ACU to implement a mind education project.

Prof. Adebayo emphasising on the innovative programme, said, “The mind education project began following my visit to South Korea in 2023 to participate in the International Youth Fellowship (IYF) programme. 

"Other Vice-Chancellors and heads of tertiary institutions from Nigeria attended the programme, where we observed how mind education is used to combat social vices among the youth in Korea and other Asian countries.”

Impressed by the positive outcomes, ACU entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with mind educators to introduce the programme to its students.

“We have since started training, and students will be awarded certificates of international status upon graduation from the university,” Prof. Adebayo added.

Meanwhile, the project coordinator, Robert Udo, said, “The aim of this project is to reshape the mindset of the youth to overcome social vices such as sexual violence, drug abuse, and other corrupt practices.”

The mind education programme at ACU involves various activities designed to foster personal growth and positive mindset development.
