African universities have been challenged to rethink how excellence is defined and measured.

Prof. Olusola Bandele Oyewole, @SecgenAAU, called for an African-centred approach that places relevance, impact and transformation alongside traditional measures of academic performance.

He proposed an African Universities Excellence Index (AUEI) built around eight pillars, including academic and research excellence, innovation, societal impact, graduate success, Africanisation, internationalisation and institutional sustainability.

AAU proudly unveils a custom display featuring the distinguished leaders and institutions that established the Association of African Universities.

In 1967, 34 out of the 47 higher education institutions at the time came together to establish the #AAU thus laying a bold foundation for unity, collaboration, and collective progress in African higher education.

This tribute celebrates the vision, solidarity, and foresight that shaped our beginnings and strengthened Africa’s academic voice.
As AAU advances its mandate, we remain guided by this enduring legacy.

NEVER harm your mother, not with words, anger, or silence.

She's the only woman who loves you unconditionally.

Take care of her.

"We must move from the narrative that we are only consumers of data to now producing and exporting digital research output that shape global agenda." - Prof. Amevi Ackapovi, Vice Chancellor, @accratechuni
The next chapter is about producing, owning, and exporting digital research outputs that influence and shape global conversations.
