The Chrisland University Centre for Entrepreneurship and Leadership Development Studies (CELDS) was created in March 2020 (at that time known as the Centre for Entrepreneurship Development Studies). The Centre is a Unit in the Office of the Vice Chancellor, Chrisland University. At the time of its Creation, the Centre had Dr. Babatunde Agbi as the Director of the Centre, and a Lecturer in the Department of Business Administration. In November 2021, Dr. Ayodotun Stephen Ibidunni, a Senior Lecturer and Head of Department, Business Administration Department was appointed as the Director of the Centre. Upon the mandate given to the new Director by the Vice Chancellor, to solidify existing activities in the Centre and introduce new and innovative strategic activities, Dr A.S. Ibidunni began by conceptualizing the vision and mission of the centre as:

The Vision of Chrisland University's CELDS is to cultivate innovative and future thinking problem solvers and wealth creators out of all CLU students and the University's community.

Our Mission is to utilise a blend of entrepreneurial mindset cultivating approaches, skills and teaching methodologies to raise dynamic entrepreneurial thinkers that contribute to solving socio-economic challenges and transforming livelihood for the good of all.

The carefully crafted vision and mission statements of the CELDS were guided by the strategic position which the Chrisland University vision places on entrepreneurship and innovation. It was also at this time that Dr A.S. Ibidunni proposed to the University Management, at its Management Meeting, and to the University Senate, about the renaming of the Centre to its present Centre for Entrepreneurship and Leadership Development Studies (CELDS), which was approved. The change of name was necessitated by the need to incorporate two uniquely taught courses in Chrisland University, including, entrepreneurship and leadership.

CELDS Programmes

Technovation Summit

The Technovation Summit serves as a platform for showcasing innovations which aim at solving socio-economic challenges facing Nigeria, Africa and the global communities. As an annual programme we hope that the Technovation Summit will be positioned as an annual gathering of entrepreneurs, researchers, students, and delegates from businesses, academia, and other parties from within and outside Nigeria.

The maiden edition of Technovation Summit held in the year 2022 with the theme “Technology for Better Life: Transforming Society for Quality Livelihood”; it was a platform for robust discussions on knowledge driven entrepreneurship, and to encourage the application of global best practices in entrepreneurial eco-system to the Nigerian and the African context. The event had in attendance a lineup of experienced entrepreneurs as speakers sourced from Nigeria and abroad that shared with the audience from their wealth of experiences in the entrepreneurship and start-up space.

Chrisland University Sustainability Project (CLUSP)

The Chrisland University Sustainability Project (CLUSP) has a focus of connecting entrepreneurship teaching and theory into student generated sustainable development products and ideas that solve critical real life problems. We are value oriented with this project and I believe that it will indeed drive home the desired result both for Chrisland University and for our global community.

CELDS initiated this project when the first edition held in the year 2022. The first edition of CLUSP produced a total of 20 innovative ideas that serve as potential companies from the 300 Level 2021/2022 Entrepreneurship Class of Chrisland University. In CLUSP, students are clustered into a team-based project development entrepreneurial activity. Each team is multidisciplinary in scope. Each team will act as a demo company/enterprise. Their task will be to identify a problem in society that they will solve. Their solution will be developed into a product and continuously progress unto the selling stage. Each company in the CLUEV will be graded based on market potential, testable by the sales of its product. Ideas generated are related to sustainability projects: Eco-friendly Business (waste recycling, eco-friendly production processes), Sustainable construction materials (3D homes), Green house cleaning products (using all-natural and eco-friendly cleaning products), Technology that enhances service delivery timelines (AI adoption), Renewable plastics, and Technology adoption for food preservation, food distribution, and to support agricultural output

CELDS Trainings

CELDS offers a range of training topics and skills in the form of:

• Vocational Courses
• Certificate Courses (1 – 3 days)

The Chrisland Centre for Research and Statistics (CREST), Abeokuta, Nigeria was founded in August, 2021 by the Office of the Vice Chancellor in collaboration with the Carnegie Fellow to the University, Dr. Olu Awosoga. It was formally constituted as the Chrisland University Statistical Centre (CRISTAC) to entrench the understanding of statistical analyses and packages in the education of students and staff of Chrisland University.

The centre was established and funded alongside the Carnegie Fellow during his visit to Nigeria. The Centre has been of immense benefits as consulting room to students and staff across all colleges. Presently, the Centre has been constituted into an interdisciplinary Research Centre with emphasis on service oriented policy research under the overall direction of the Centre’s Director.

The instrument establishing the Centre enables it to draw its Research Fellows, and clusters/groups from various disciplines both from within and outside the University. The Research Centre has no formal academic teaching programmes. Its Research Fellows discharge their teaching obligations as members of faculty of their various academic departments, while its Research Assistants are hired as the need arises and required to be registered Ph.D. candidates from various academic departments. The Research Fellows and clusters relate at the Centre to execute the Centre’s research programmes under the supervision of the Centre’s Director, assisted by specific Research Clusters’ Coordinators.

Objectives

The objectives of the Centre include but not limited to:

• Organising trainings for students and staff of the University;
• Guiding students to carry out statistical analysis for their projects;
• Guiding staff to carry out statistical analyses for aid research and publications;
• Attract the general public to the University and assist them with their statistical analyses with negotiable fees.

Apart from the physical trainings, the Centre has also been charged with responsibilities of organising series of virtual hand-on trainings for the benefit of the University community.

Achievements

Since its inception, the Centre has been able to organise series of hand-on trainings such as Workshop, Conferences, and Seminars and so on for the staff. Achievements of the Center include the following:

• Conducted and published a Carnegie African Diaspora’s sponsored Multidisciplinary Research titled “Impact analysis of pandemic on Nigeria’s stock market performance.” Research in Applied Economics, 14(2), 17-42. MacroThink, USA. Carnegie Sponsored Research. https://doi.org/10.5296/rae.v14i2.20560.
• Organised series of virtual hand-on trainings in partnership with other institutions across the globe;
• Organised bi-annual workshop on Advanced Statistical Techniques for Researchers for Staff;
• Annual training for final year students and staff on SPSS for Beginners (Primary data analyses);
• Annual training for the final year students and staff on EVIEWS for Beginners (Secondary data analyses);
• Trained some interested students to help others at the Centre;
• Guided the final-year students in carrying out their project analyses and interpretations.

Tasks and Responsibilities

With a view to cordinating the University research and grant-writing activities as well as the publications by academic staff members and cluster groups, the Centre has been upgraded to ensure proper coordination and documentation in the repository so as to put Chrisland University in the limelight and grease the wheels of research development while gaining its deserved recognition on a global level. Thus, the Centre is charged to perform the following responsibilities:

• Creation of the University Research Repository: This enables proper coordination of all research activities and publications of academic members. It also helps in linking these publications to the Chrisland University Website which is visible and traceable across the world.
• Coordination and monitoring of the Research Publications and Grant-Writing Cluster Groups to  ensure efficient, effective, and result-oriented grant-writing activities.
• Also among the top priorities of the Centre is the facilitation of procedures that ensure paper publications in top-rated journals among faculty and staff of the university.
• Research fund-raising, application, and management. 
• Possible inclusion of Chrisland University in global University ranking platforms such as Times Higher Education, Webometric Ranking, and AD Scientific.

To accomplish the goal of getting Chrisland University to be ranked in globally reputable platforms, the Centre would become more deliberate about transforming into executing and publishing impact driven research, and in high impact journal outlets. Usually Scopus and Web of Science indexations provide a rich repository of multidisciplinary academic research journals that can serve as a starting point to achieving the global ranking of Chrisland University. Also, the Centre would continue to register voluntary research clusters. The functional roles of research clusters include publishing of journals papers in high impact outlets, writing grant proposals, and frequently organizing strategically designed research workshops at the University, College and Departmental levels.

Finally, Chrisland University, through the Center would be deliberate about supporting its faculty and staff to attend local and international conferences where papers on the condition that such faculty and staff member’s paper has been accepted for presentation and inclusion in the Conference Proceedings.

Consultations

The Center is open for consultation for students and staff as well as the general public on a daily basis for three hours per day and on special schedule for general public.

Consultation Hours
