The centre offers opportunities for internships and high-paying jobs upon graduation, with a focus on developing disciples of Jesus Christ who are leaders in their communities. Elder D. Todd Christofferson, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, highlighted the Church's commitment to education, noting its annual investment of over US$1 billion.
The BYU-Pathway Worldwide has opened a state-of-the-art Global Education Centre in the heart of Lagos , Nigeria to serve the growing number of students who wish to attain higher education certification online from BYU-Idaho and Ensign College.
At the official unveiling of the Global Education Centre at Opebi, Ikeja in Lagos, Nigeria, Elder D. Todd Christofferson, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, noted that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints spends over a US$1billion annually funding the education of the rising generation. He expressed his happiness for the establishment of the Global Education Centre in Lagos and assured that this won’t be the last in Nigeria and Africa.
Brian K. Ashton, President of BYU-Pathway Worldwide, noted that the Church introduced BYU-Pathway to bless everyone with an education and that is why the fees are heavily subsidized and anyone anywhere can apply to join and students can also enjoy scholarships of almost 50percent on tuition. This building would serve as a place of learning to develop and strengthen our rising generation spiritually, socially, emotionally, educationally and professionally. The activities held in here will help to develop disciples of Jesus Christ who will become leaders in their homes, the Church, and their communities. They will gain and grow in one of the attributes of God, which is knowledge.
“It opens access to educational opportunities, provides a foundation for the development of leadership skills, and offers built-in mentoring and support options for members, especially our rising generation. The programmes in this facility are also open to non-members of our church, and we find significant numbers participating in the programmes.
