The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has launched a new programme called the Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Business Incubation Certification (EIBIC), which awards students double certificates upon graduation. The university's deputy vice chancellor for development services, Professor Ayodele Atsenuwa, announced this during the programme's launch at the Akoka campus on Monday, April 22. Atsenuwa explained that the EIBIC programme, approved by the UNILAG Senate, aims to bridge socioeconomic gaps in Nigeria. The programme will commence with 100-level students, preparing them for the future job market. Atsenuwa emphasized the importance of entrepreneurship for economic growth.

The Director of the Entrepreneurship and Skill Development Centre, Prof. Sunday Adebisi, noted that the EIBIC programme makes UNILAG the first Nigerian university to offer two honours or degrees. Graduating students will receive EIBIC certificates in addition to their respective degree certificates. Adebisi highlighted that the EIB programme aims to equip students with dual capacities, enhancing their employability and entrepreneurial skills. He also mentioned that the programme's calendar has been designed to ensure that students complete both programmes before graduation.
