Abiola Ajimobi Technical University (TECH-U), Ibadan, is once again in the spotlight as its students record remarkable achievements on international stages.
On 12th September 2025, Mr. Tiamiyu Akinwale, a 200-level student of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, represented the University at the Falling Walls Lab competition, hosted at the University of Ibadan and organized by Falling Walls Lab, Germany. Competing against innovators from across the globe, Tiamiyu presented his initiative, Teentronics—a project that trains teenagers (ages 10–18) in hands-on STEM by transforming local tools and discarded materials into innovation opportunities.
Out of 72 applicants, Tiamiyu advanced to the final stage and ultimately emerged as the 3rd runner-up among 13 global innovators, a remarkable feat that highlights both his ingenuity and TECH-U’s culture of practical innovation.
This milestone comes shortly after another outstanding achievement by Miss Daniella Abimbola Kolade, a 400-level Computer Science (Software Engineering) student, who, in September 2025, led her team to victory at the IoT & AI for Black Swan Events Boot Camp, held at Bio-Medico University, Cambridge, United Kingdom, where her group won the overall project competition.
The Vice Chancellor, on behalf of the University Management, congratulated both students, commending their brilliance, resilience, and creativity. He affirmed that these recognitions reaffirm TECH-U’s vision of producing globally competitive graduates who can provide innovative solutions to real-world problems. These successes not only elevate TECH-U’s reputation as a hub for science, technology, and innovation but also serve as an inspiration to other students to embrace opportunities, compete with confidence, and make their mark on the global stage.
