It is with great pleasure that we welcome the Yaba College of Technology (located in Lagos, Nigeria) to the Association of African Planning Schools. Several representatives of the College attended the SAPI Planning Africa Conference in Durban (South Africa) in September 2010, where they contacted the AAPS secretariat and indicated their wish to join the Association.
Yaba College of Technology offers both undergraduate and postgraduate planning diplomas within the Department of Urban and Regional Planning (School of Environmental Studies). The College boasts over two hundred undergraduate students (studying towards either National Diplomas or Higher National Diplomas), whilst a dozen postgraduate students are currently registered for a Post-Higher National Diploma (Professional Diploma).
Nigeria has the largest contingent of planning schools on the African continent, therefore we as an association are delighted to have greater representation of this fascinating, vibrant country and its diverse planning educational traditions.
