The Chief Executive officer of Westerfield College, Mr. Michael Dosunmu and his team, has paid a courtesy visit to the Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, as part of activities to mark the school’s first anniversary as a wholly-owned Nigerian school thriving in the United Kingdom.
Westerfield College is also participating in the International Education Fair (IEF) and the School Leaders and Teachers Conference (SLTC 2026).
Westerfield College is a leading Sixth Form institution with campuses in Nigeria and the United Kingdom. Last year, the school became the first wholly-owned African school to offshore into the United Kingdom. This remarkable achievement was well celebrated by the Lagos State Governor Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu at the official launch, held at the British High Commissioner’s residence, where he commended the CEO, Michael Dosunmu, who is an indigene of the state.
The visit formed part of Westerfield College’s ongoing engagement with key education stakeholders as it continues to expand opportunities for Nigerian students and families seeking globally competitive education pathways.
During the courtesy call, the College reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening educational linkages between Nigeria and the United Kingdom and to supporting the aspirations of young Nigerians through quality international programmes.
In his remark, Governor Sanwo-Olu hyped on the educational prowess of Nigerian youths who have continued to excel across the world. He added that Westerfield College opening up in the United Kingdom has opened vistas of opportunities for selling Nigeria and Lagos positively to the world.
Westerfield College is currently hosting her School Leaders and Teachers Conference (SLTC 2026) and participating in the International Education Fair, a platform designed to provide students, parents, and schools with direct access to guidance on international education opportunities. A major focus of this engagement is the Westerfield College UK Summer Camp Programme, which offers students early exposure to British culture, specialist academic tracks, leadership development, cultural exchange and networking, sports and personal growth within a safe and structured learning environment.
The camp will run in three cohorts from 20th July to 1st August, 3rd to 15th August and 17th to 29th August 2026 at its campus in Worcester, UK. Campers enjoy the most holistic offer that a camp can offer with a combination of academic tracks, which include STEM, Pre-medicine, Business and Law, Computing and coding as well as Arts and Humanities; sports, such as football, basketball, tennis and athletics; immersive English; tours; leadership and networking opportunities.
Speaking during the visit, the CEO of Westerfield College highlighted the institution’s vision of education as a tool for global mobility and personal transformation. He emphasised that the Summer Camp Programme is tailored to help Nigerian students build confidence, global awareness, and leadership skills, while giving families a meaningful introduction to the British education system.
The courtesy visit reflects Westerfield College’s broader mission to collaborate with government and education leaders in advancing access to high-quality, future-focused education for Nigerian students. Through initiatives such as the International Education Fair and the UK Summer Camp Programme, the College continues to position itself as a bridge between local excellence and global opportunity.
