WCU Team

The Founder Body

WCU has been a joint attempt of multiple academic, research, and corporate organizations to bring on a single window a set of edited and consolidated information about academics and education for the use of scholars, teachers, policy makers, and other stakeholders in academics and research. The consortium has been brought on ground with the contributions of:

  • Africa Asia Scholars Global Network (AASGON), a Signatory to the UN Global Compact, Member of the UK Stakeholders for Sustainable Development, Affiliate Member of the International Association of Universities (IAU), Co-Founder of the World Consortium of Universities (WCU), Member Strategic Forum of European Alliance for Innovation (EAI) and Advisory Council Member/Associate of the Association of Universities of Asia and the Pacific (AUAP).
  • American Association for Higher Education & Accreditation (Formerly AAHE), one of the oldest not-for-profit associations in the United States dedicated to the advancement of higher education. The AAHEA has maintained continuous ties to the original AAHE incorporation that was founded in 1969 and is still working under the same 501-C3 Non-Profit Organizational Charter. AAHEA, in true meaning, has set the standards in higher education in its country and across the globe for 140 years through their research, publications, conferences, and partnerships, and this indeed makes us the leader in this effort.
  • The Institute of Professional Managers and Administrators of Nigeria (IPMA - Nigeria), registered in line with the provisions of the Companies and Allied Matters Acts (CAMA) 1990, as a Limited by Guarantee Corporate body for the purpose of promoting Management/Administrative standards and values in Nigeria. The Institute is also approved by the Federal Ministry of Education and Federal Ministry of Justice.

The Founder Members of the Consortium include these organizations of high repute that collaboratively instrumented the cause of existence of this consortium.
