About Us

Welcome to Thels Consulting

Who Are We?

Thel’s Impact Consulting (TIC) is a HigherEd Tech consulting firm registered with Nigeria’s Corporate Affairs Commission under RC 1828365. Our unique approach incorporates design thinking, educational technology tools, evidence-based research, and effective monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to empower Higher Education Institutions, Research Institutes, Training Organizations, and the Government in fulfilling their missions. At TIC, we strive to catalyse, facilitate, and support successful collaborations between knowledge producers and industries that harness that knowledge.

Why?

Higher education institutions are undeniably pivotal in shaping the future, as they have historically been the cradle of innovation and foundational knowledge.

Thels Impact Consulting emerged in response to several observed challenges facing Higher education in Nigeria and Africa, including fragmented research centres lacking a unified national research agenda, inadequate monitoring and evaluation frameworks for tracking knowledge development, management, and utilisation, and the existing gap between academia and industries which has further deepened the funding scourge and unemployment situation. We firmly believe that knowledge, fortified by a research culture, propels nations' development and transformation. Thus, Thels is uniquely positioned to drive progress in higher education in Nigeria and the African continent through innovative research and development initiatives.

Thels is dedicated to reshaping and revitalising the Nigerian HigherEd system, viewing it as the definitive path toward a transformative Africa and the restoration of African dignity. This endeavour is driven by the belief that Africa can fully reclaim its place on the global stage, building a brighter future for its people.

Our Vision

Our vision is to establish a preeminent research organisation that advances science in Africa, fostering sustainable societal and human development to meet the continent's evolving needs and aspirations. We are committed to driving positive change, one research project at a time, and ultimately contributing to improving Africa and its people.
