PEFTI Relaunched as Innovation Institute to Revolutionise Higher Education

Performing Arts, Entrepreneurship, Fashion and Technology Innovations (PEFTI) has undergone a transformation, emerging as the PEFTI Innovation Institute. This new institution aims to revolutionize technical and higher education within Nigeria. Established in 2004, PEFTI received accreditation from the Federal Ministry of Education and the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) to provide two-year National Diploma programs in Business Administration, Mass Communication, Music Technology, Multimedia Technology, and Fashion Design.

Abiola Adenuga Adimora, the PEFTI Registrar and a United States IVLP alumnus, shared his insights during a recent statement. He emphasized that PEFTI is poised to revolutionize higher education in Nigeria, highlighting the institution's track record of producing award-winning alumni such as T.G. Omori, Tunde Olaoye, Fido, and Mr. Macaroni, among many others.

Adimora outlined that PEFTI's methodology revolves around practical, project-oriented professional training. The institution extends its offerings to include three-month professional courses in Business, Film, Fashion, Music, and Multimedia Technology.

Additionally, PEFTI holds NBTE accreditation as a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Skill Training Centre. The institution's facilities will serve as an iDICE Creative Hub, an initiative by the Bank of Industry (BOI). Adimora clarified that PEFTI Innovation Institute is situated in Ajao Estate, Isolo, Lagos State.

He underscored that PEFTI provides students with more than just an education and experiences; it helps them succeed in their careers by enabling them to discover their passions and lead in their respective industries.

Through hands-on learning, creative projects, and industry-relevant experiences, PEFTI equips students with the necessary skills, knowledge, and confidence to excel in their chosen careers. Upon graduation, students are expected to become entrepreneurs and make significant contributions to their industries and society at large. Adimora further explained that PEFTI is a vibrant Creative Hub, supported by a robust professional network.

This network fosters collaboration, produces creative content, cultivates emerging talents, and hosts events that bring together students, industry professionals, and the broader creative community.
