EduTimes Africa proudly participated in the 2025 College Week hosted by the College of Leadership and Development Studies (CLDS), Covenant University, held from 26 to 30 May.
The dynamic, week-long event convened thought leaders, academics, and visionary students to explore the intersections of leadership, innovation, development, and education for national transformation.
As a sponsor and media partner, EduTimes Africa was honoured to contribute meaningfully to the week’s activities.
Representing the organisation, our Creative Content Curator and News Reporter, Folaranmi Ajayi, engaged students in insightful conversations around EduTimes Africa’s mission and our latest innovation — My EduTimes Africa Mobile, officially launched on 20 May 2025.
This new mobile platform is a transformative tool designed to empower students and educators across Africa. With features such as educational news, real-time scholarship updates, career development insights, and access to learning resources, the app serves as a digital companion built specifically with the African student experience in mind.
It bridges the gap between information and opportunity, equipping young minds with tools to succeed in the classroom and beyond.
Throughout the event, Folaranmi shared the story behind the app’s creation and its potential to become an indispensable asset for students navigating their academic and professional journeys.
The platform’s intuitive design and tailored content sparked interest among students eager to explore ethical, relevant, and accessible information resources.
We extend our sincere appreciation to Dr Excellence of Covenant University for her gracious hospitality and for leading stimulating discussions on the ethical use of artificial intelligence in academic spaces. Her reflections on the evolving role of tools like ChatGPT provided students with critical perspectives on responsible innovation and digital literacy.
A particularly engaging moment came during our interaction with students when a participant from the Department of International Relations posed a thoughtful question on the academic use of AI-generated content. This opened up a vibrant group dialogue about digital responsibility, echoing Dr Excellence’s earlier session.
The exchange underscored students’ eagerness for guidance on emerging technologies and affirmed EduTimes Africa’s role in nurturing ethical digital citizens.
EduTimes Africa is committed to forging strategic partnerships with educational institutions, development organisations, and forward-thinking educators. Our passion lies in seeing African undergraduates thrive — not only academically but as future leaders, innovators, and agents of change.
We are delighted to share photo highlights from this inspiring event — a memorable blend of learning, leadership, and shared vision.
