Tai Solarin Federal University of Education (TASFUED) and TedPrime Limited have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop and deliver an Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Innovation and Entrepreneurship Curriculum for students of the University.
The MoU was signed on Monday, 9 November 2026, and the programme will commence in the 2026/2027 Academic Session.
The kick-off learning pathway, domiciled at the Centre for Entrepreneurial and Vocational Studies (CENVOS), will integrate practical AI skills, innovation thinking and entrepreneurial capability into the University’s learning ecosystem.
Students will deploy AI tools to solve real-world problems and develop enterprise ideas, in line with TASFUED’s drive for digital transformation and innovation-led education, research and development.
Drawing on its expertise in digital education, technology deployment and institutional transformation, TedPrime Limited will serve as TASFUED’s technology, curriculum development and capacity-building partner.
The company will design and develop a comprehensive AI for Innovation and Entrepreneurship Curriculum that is relevant, aligned with the University’s academic objectives, and responsive to emerging industry needs.
It will also deploy the digital learning infrastructure, including the Learning Management System (LMS), to support course delivery, student engagement, assessment and performance monitoring, and facilitate teaching and practical delivery of the curriculum, with emphasis on responsible AI adoption, innovation, problem-solving, creativity and entrepreneurial application.
Under the framework, TASFUED will provide institutional leadership, coordination and strategic direction to ensure effective implementation and sustainability of the initiative.
The University will also build an enabling ecosystem for AI-driven innovation and entrepreneurship among students and academic staff, through knowledge-sharing platforms, innovation showcases, exhibitions, collaborative learning opportunities and hackathons. The aim is to create an experiential learning environment where students translate knowledge into ideas, prototypes, enterprises and solutions.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Samuel Ekundayo Oladipo, the Vice-Chancellor, reiterated the vision of the University’s leadership:
“This partnership places TASFUED at the forefront of preparing graduates for an AI-driven economy. Our students will not only learn to use these technologies but to create value, build enterprises and solve problems in their communities.”
In his response, the Co-founder and Director of Technical Operations, Olalekan Adeeko, assured the University leadership of TedPrime’s commitment to delivering the right framework for students, lecturers and the University ecosystem:
“Our universities and industries must build the future of work together. With TASFUED, we are putting practical AI skills, the right learning infrastructure and entrepreneurial thinking in the hands of students from the very first session.”
AI is reshaping industries and professional competencies and creating new routes to enterprise. By embedding AI in its academic programmes, TASFUED aims to equip students to use emerging technologies and create value with them. The collaboration also demonstrates how private-sector participation in higher education can bridge the gap between academic knowledge, industry expectations and the practical skills demanded by the digital economy.
