The lecture examines how African universities can be empowered to be part of Africa’s transformative agency. African universities can contribute to shaping the continent's future by promoting innovation, research, and information sharing. Many of these universities, meanwhile, deal with issues like poor funding, infrastructure problems, brain drain, and restricted access to modern technologies. The lecture will identify areas of need, including governments and the business sector's increasing expenditures in higher education, forming relationships with other African universities, and giving inclusive, context-specific courses of great importance. Technology integration will allow universities to participate in the global knowledge economy and close the digital divide. Moreover, they must promote research capacity and support multidisciplinary approaches to answer pressing challenges, including climate change, health crises, and socioeconomic inequalities.
