In recognition of KWASU’s remarkable contributions to entrepreneurial development in Nigeria, Africa and the world at large in the last four years, the former Director, Centre for Entrepreneurship, Dr. Muritala Awodun, has been named the MIT Global Startup Workshop (GSW) 2014 African Scholar.
To this end, Dr. Awodun who has just been appointed the Dean, School of Business and Governance, has been invited to Marrakech, Morocco between March 24-27, 2014, to attend the GSW organised by MIT.
Speaking on how he was considered for the award, Dr. Awodun said he was asked by the organisers what his plans were for the next four years and if he was the Director of the KWASU’s Centre for Entrepreneurship to which he responded in affirmative. Thereafter he said, he was named the “MIT GSW 2014 African Scholar” for the University’s successes in entrepreneurship in the last four years.
Dr. Awodun said he was very reluctant in giving the competition a thought initially but that as God would have it, he was considered the most qualified for the award not only in Nigeria, but Africa as a whole.
The awardee possesses obvious creative and innovative competences demonstrated through the initiation and coordination of several seminars, conferences, workshops, programmes, local and international researches.
GSW is typically attended by over 350 participants each year from over 70 countries from around the world.
