In a significant step towards fostering collaboration and academic excellence, Chrisland University hosted a formal event marking the signing of a landmark Linkage Agreement with the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators of Nigeria (ICSAN).
The ceremony, which was held at the Senate Chamber of the University, commenced with an inspiring opening address by the Vice-Chancellor of Chrisland University, Professor Chinedum Peace Babalola, who emphasized the importance of strengthening ties between academia and professional bodies to equip students with essential leadership and administrative skills.
While speaking on the opportunities that will accrue through the programmes, the Chairman of the Governing Council of the institute, Mrs. Funmi Ekundayo assured the University that the students and staff will benefit through the practical insights that will be brought to bear by the Governance experts. The President of ICSAN further highlighted the shared vision and commitment towards advancing governance and professional ethics in Nigeria.
The event culminated in the formal signing of the Linkage Agreement, symbolizing a promising partnership poised to offer students enriched learning experiences and greater access to professional development opportunities.
This collaboration is set to drive innovation, career readiness, and contribute to the overall intellectual growth of Chrisland University staff and students.
ICSAN is an offshoot of the International professional body with its headquarters in London and associations in Commonwealth countries. The Institute is a member of the Corporate Secretaries International Association (CSIA). The Geneva-registered global organization is the global voice of corporate secretaries and governance professionals.
This linkage agreement will afford the opportunity providing professional training and certification to our undergraduate students in the disciplines of Law, Economics, Business Administration, Public Administration and Accounting.
The collaboration may also extend to providing training and certification to staff in the University Community in the areas of Corporate Governance and Administration, Corporate Secretaryship and Corporate Financial Management.
