OneData, a leading provider of fibre-based broadband Internet in Nigeria, has announced a strategic partnership with Caleb University to transform campus connectivity and equip students with essential digital skills for today’s tech-driven world.
The collaboration supports Caleb University’s ambition of becoming a Centre of Excellence in Technology, Media, and Telecommunications (TMT), aiming to bridge the gap between traditional education and digital innovation.
Campus-Wide High-Speed Internet
Under the partnership, OneData has successfully deployed high-speed, campus-wide fibre Internet, providing students and faculty with seamless access to e-learning platforms, research resources, and communication tools. This upgrade is expected to significantly boost academic performance and digital engagement across the university.
Launch of Digital and Entrepreneurial Hubs
In addition to connectivity, OneData is setting up Digital and Entrepreneurial Hubs on campus — innovative spaces designed to foster tech creativity, digital literacy, and entrepreneurship. These hubs will serve as launchpads for student-led startups, tech projects, and business ventures, preparing them for real-world challenges and opportunities.
“Reliable Internet is not just an educational tool; it is the foundation of a thriving digital economy,” said Olawale Owoeye, CEO of OneData.
“This partnership is about more than just connectivity; it’s about giving students the tools to lead in Nigeria’s digital future.”
A Vision for the Future
Vice Chancellor of Caleb University, Professor Nosa Owens-Ibie, praised the initiative, noting that the collaboration is a major leap toward positioning the university at the forefront of education and innovation in Nigeria.
“By integrating world-class Internet services and fostering entrepreneurial hubs, we are empowering students to contribute meaningfully to Nigeria’s digital transformation,” he said.
Scaling Nationwide
OneData’s vision doesn’t end with Caleb University. The company aims to replicate this model across other Nigerian universities, ensuring students nationwide have the infrastructure and support to thrive in the digital economy.
This initiative marks a new chapter in education-technology collaboration, combining connectivity, innovation, and empowerment to prepare the next generation of digital leaders.
