excellence, integrity, innovation, and service

Historical Background
In 2018, a group of communication scholars initiated a project to investigate the communication climate in Nigerian public organizations. The study revealed that inadequate communication was a significant contributor to poor policy execution in the country. This challenges the long-held notion that insufficient human and material resources were the sole culprits. In reaction to the revelation, the scholars established the Tonnie Iredia Centre for Media Advocacy (TICMA) to sensitize policy actors to appreciate the inevitable role which effective communication plays in policy formulation and execution.

Founder’s Welcome Message
Prof. Tonnie Iredia, Ph.D., OON
Founder, Tonnie Iredia University of Communication (TIUC)
Welcome to Tonnie Iredia University of Communication (TIUC)
– a citadel of learning built on the principles of
excellence, integrity, innovation, and service
.
At TIUC, we believe that communication is not just a profession, it is the foundation of leadership, development, and social transformation. The ability to convey ideas, inspire people, and mobilize change has become one of the most powerful tools of the 21st century. Our mission is to produce globally competent communicators and creators who lead, inspire, and transform society through academic excellence, green innovation, and digital leadership.
As a career communicator and media professional, I have seen first-hand how the right message, delivered ethically and effectively, can transform communities and strengthen nations. TIUC was born out of that conviction that education in communication must go beyond classrooms to equip students with values, vision, and practical competence.
We have therefore designed a learning environment that blends
academic rigor with hands-on experience
,
global best practices with local relevance
, and
innovation with integrity
. From our modern media studios to our creative labs and research centres, every aspect of TIUC is crafted to help students explore, create, and lead.
To our students, whether aspiring journalists, filmmakers, PR professionals, digital strategists, or development communicators – I welcome you to a university that will challenge your mind, ignite your creativity, and prepare you to make a lasting impact in your chosen field.
Together, let us build a community where communication becomes a force for progress and humanity.
Welcome to TIUC – Where Knowledge Inspires Change.
