The Centre for Peace and Strategic Studies of the University of Ilorin was established in 2008 with the technical support of the Society for Peace Studies and Practice (SPSP) to contribute to the production of the needed manpower for promoting peace, advancing security, accelerating development and managing conflicts in Africa and far beyond. The Centre offers M. A., M.Phil. and Ph.D. degree courses in Peace and Development Studies.
Historically, the Centre is the second to provide mainstream training in Peace Studies at the Masterâs and Doctoral levels in Nigeria and the West African sub-region.
