King’s College London has received £10million from Nigerian Philanthropist and Lawyer, are Afe Babalola, to establish the Afe Babalola African Centre for Transnational Education.
The new Centre will enable young Africans to access education and opportunities which they would otherwise not be able to have. The vision for the Centre is based on the power of education to empower and enable Africa’s talented young people to make meaningful contributions to their communities and the world.
This vision is inspired by Aare Afe Babalola’s own experiences of growing up without easy access to high quality education and benefitting from the transformative power of remote learning. This allowed him to study from his home in Nigeria and to graduate with degrees in Economics and Law from the University of London.
