About Pan-Atlantic University
Located in Lekki, Lagos State, Pan-Atlantic University is a private, nonprofit university. The Lagos Business School (LBS), founded in 1991, served as the foundation for the university. In 2002, the LBS became the institution’s first school after receiving approval from the federal government to operate as a university. In 2003, the Ajah Campus was finished, and in 2010, construction on the Ibeju-Lekki Campus started.
81 artists, including pioneering Nigerian artists like Aina Onabolu and Bruce Onobrakpeya and up-and-coming artists like Richardson Ovbiebo and Babalola Lawson, contributed over 400 works to the website known as the Virtual Museum of Modern Nigerian Art, which was launched by the university in September 2011. Jess Castellote is a Spanish architect. He advocated for expanded commerce with Britain as well as the creation of an African free trade zone. To avoid confusion with the Pan-African University of the African Union, its name was changed to Pan-Atlantic University in May 2013.
