Director, CLI
Email:

Established under the auspices of the Vice-Chancellor’s Office, the Centre for Linkages and Internationalization (CLI) is OAUSTECH’s premier conduit for cultivating international academic alliances and collaborative research. With a mandate to extend the university’s global engagement, the CLI orchestrates joint research initiatives, faculty and student exchange programmes, capacity-building efforts, scholarship schemes, and technology transfer activities. By strategically leveraging Nigeria’s rich resources in tandem with cutting-edge international expertise—as demonstrated by its recent partnership with a Japanese university in innovative drug discovery—the centre not only elevates OAUSTECH’s global research profile but also propels local capacity development and sustainable socio-economic progress. The centre was initially led by Prof. M. O. Folarin, and since August 2024, it has been under the stewardship of the incumbent Director, Dr. Abdulkabir Oladele Oladimeji.
