Between Ibadan and London, there evolved an international education linkage in the
twentieth century, precisely, it started in 1948. The relationship was meant to establish
university education in a British colony of Ibadan city in Nigeria. This paper analyses the
terms and engagement of Inter-University Council in the planning and administrative
decisions that internationalised University of London in Ibadan society. The curriculum
and assessment system developed synergised the relationship that actually qualified
University College Ibadan (UCI) as an extension of University of London, which is an
African Campus. The levels of internationalisation created the ideal academic space for
research which brewed academic capital that has proven to be sustainable within the
Nigerian state. The paper examines the evidence that affirm the relationships. It creates
a narrative of the knowledge systems and academic management. The paper traces the
trend of internationalisation till contemporary times. The work depends on primary and
secondary sources
