OneData, a provider of fibre-based broadband internet services in Nigeria, has partnered with Caleb University to revolutionise campus connectivity and equip students with the digital skills required to thrive in a technology-driven world.
The strategic collaboration aligns with Caleb University’s vision of becoming the Centre of Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) Excellence, bridging the gap between education and digital innovation.
Under this partnership, OneData has deployed high-speed, campus-wide fibre internet, ensuring uninterrupted access to online learning platforms, research databases, and communication tools. This is set to modernize the university’s digital infrastructure, creating an environment where students and faculty members can excel in an ICT-driven world.
Beyond providing internet services, OneData is launching “Digital and Entrepreneurial Hubs”, dedicated spaces designed to cultivate innovation, digital literacy, and business acumen. These hubs will serve as incubators where students can develop technological solutions, explore business opportunities, and gain industry-ready skills.
“Reliable internet is not just an educational tool; it is the foundation of a thriving digital economy. By collaborating with Caleb University, we have not only provided for campus connectivity but are also empowering students with the training, resources, and opportunities needed to lead in technology, media, and telecommunications. This is a game-changer for higher education in Nigeria,” CEO of OneData, Mr Olawale Owoeye, said.
Echoing this sentiment, the vice chancellor of Caleb University, Professor Nosa Owens-Ibie, stated, “This partnership with OneData is a significant step toward our mission of becoming a center of excellence in education and innovation. By integrating world-class internet services and fostering entrepreneurial hubs, we are equipping students with the skills and opportunities to contribute meaningfully to Nigeria’s digital transformation.”
OneData’s vision extends beyond Caleb University. The company is committed to scaling this model in universities nationwide, ensuring more students gain access to high-speed internet, education, and entrepreneurial resources. This initiative is not just about internet access; it is about empowering the next generation to drive Nigeria’s digital transformation.
