The highly anticipated Edu-Fair Ignite 2025 officially took off in Nairobi today, uniting educational institutions from around the world with aspiring African students. Hosted at the Argyle Grand Hotel, opposite Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, the international education fair marks a significant milestone in cross-border academic collaboration, thanks to a landmark partnership between Admission World Consult Ltd of Ghana and Kenya’s Jubilant Stewards of Africa.
The event drew participation from over 20 countries, including top universities and colleges from the UK, Canada, USA, and Europe, offering students a one-stop hub for international education guidance, admissions insight, and career mapping.
In his opening address, Jared Oundo, Director of Jubilant Stewards of Africa, underscored the transformative power of education and its role in shaping global citizens. “Today marks more than just an event—it marks an opportunity. An opportunity for discovery, connection, and transformation,” he said. “We are not just encouraging academic migration; we are empowering global citizens.”
Edu-Fair Ignite 2025 is more than an exhibition—it’s an interactive experience. Attendees engaged in exclusive one-on-one consultations with university representatives, participated in expert-led seminars, and joined panel discussions exploring emerging educational trends and challenges.
The event aims to bridge the gap between African talent and international academic institutions. “This fair is where questions are answered, dreams are nurtured, and careers begin to take shape,” said Oundo, encouraging students to dive deep into available opportunities
Since its inception in 2018, the Edu-Fair services has connected thousands of students with international institutions. The 2024 edition in Accra, Ghana, drew over 2,200 students and 89 institutions, resulting in numerous successful international enrollments. Nairobi is the latest city to host the initiative, with upcoming editions planned for Kumasi and Accra on May 21 and 23, respectively
Admission World Consult Ltd, a two-time recipient of the Ghana Business Standards Award for Educational Consultancy of the Year (2023 & 2024), and Jubilant Stewards of Africa, a community-centered NGO, share a mission to provide African students with tools to succeed globally. Their collaboration reflects a commitment to breaking down educational barriers and fostering inclusive development.
Organizers invited stakeholders, policymakers, and institutions to actively support the fair’s vision. The event also served as a platform for government ministries to articulate policy direction on international education and talent development.
As the event came to a close, a resounding message echoed through the halls: Africa’s youth are ready to learn, grow, and lead—and Edu-Fair Ignite 2025 is just the beginning.
