– Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State, Nigeria
Cavista Technologies, a leading global technology and software solutions company, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Babcock University, establishing a strategic partnership aimed at equipping students with practical Artificial Intelligence (AI) skills and industry exposure that will prepare them for the future of work.
The partnership will provide 300 and 400-level students with direct exposure to real-world AI applications through engagements with industry professionals, practical learning experiences, mentorship, and insights into how emerging technologies are solving complex challenges across sectors.
Speaking at the MoU signing ceremony, the Vice President and General Manager of Cavista Technologies, Oye Morakinyo, described the agreement as a significant step toward bridging the gap between academia and industry.
“Today’s Memorandum of Understanding represents more than a signed document. It represents a shared commitment to bridging the gap between theory and practice, and between potential and opportunity,” she said.
Morakinyo emphasized that the partnership aligns with Cavista’s belief that business should be a force for good and that sustainable innovation begins with investing in people.
“Through this MoU, we are creating meaningful opportunities for students to gain hands-on exposure to real-world industry challenges, learning directly from our engineers and professionals with deep technical and business experience. Together, we are investing in the next generation of innovators, problem-solvers, and technology leaders who will shape the future and drive meaningful impact in society.”
As Artificial Intelligence continues to transform industries globally, the demand for graduates with both technical knowledge and practical experience continues to rise. This partnership is designed to address that need through a structured mini curriculum developed jointly to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry application.
According to Morakinyo, the initiative also supports Cavista Technologies’ long-term talent development strategy by creating a pipeline of highly skilled future professionals.
“Beyond equipping students with practical AI skills and real-world industry exposure, this partnership creates a strong talent pipeline for Cavista. We are intentional about attracting, developing, and retaining some of the best and brightest minds, and collaborations like this help us identify and nurture tomorrow’s technology leaders.”
Speaking at the signing ceremony, President and Vice Chancellor of Babcock University, Prof. Afolarin Olutunde Ojewole, remarked that although Cavista is a relatively young company, its impressive footprint and achievements offer a model worthy of emulation.
“For a company that has existed for less than 10 years, Cavista has built an extraordinary legacy of innovation, excellence, and impact. This partnership comes at an opportune moment, enabling us to connect more closely with a global technology leader and create pathways that will enrich learning, advance research, and better equip our students for the future of work,” he remarked.
The partnership also reinforces Babcock University’s commitment to academic excellence by strengthening the connection between classroom learning and industry realities. Through this collaboration, students will gain access to valuable knowledge, mentorship, professional networks, and opportunities that can shape the trajectory of their careers.
For Cavista, meaningful progress happens when educational institutions and the private sector work together with a shared purpose, which is why this signing is a testament to what can be achieved through such collaboration.
The two organizations expressed optimism about the opportunities the partnership will create for students, the technology ecosystem, and Nigeria’s growing digital economy.
“At Cavista Technologies, we often say that innovation begins with people. By investing in people, nurturing talent, and creating opportunities for growth, we create a foundation for sustainable progress and lasting impact,” Morakinyo added.
The event culminated in the official signing and exchange of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) by the leadership of Cavista Technologies and Babcock University, symbolizing a shared commitment to developing future-ready talent for lasting impact.
