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.

This paper looks at the changes that occurred in the rural area of the Sai Kung Peninsula in Hong Kong's New Territories from the 16th century, and uses it as a case-study to show the complex range of forces that can act on a locale. Throughout its history, land use and economic activities on the Sai Kung Peninsula have been driven to a great extent by non-local factors, including distant warfare leading to mass immigration and political decisions leading to mass emigration. However, once Hong Kong became an important outpost of Britain's colonial empire it became integrated into a global trade network and thus became sensitive to economic and technological changes taking place thousands of miles away. In the 20th century, the Sai Kung Peninsula developed in response to Hong Kong's growth as an international trade hub, finding its agricultural output overwhelmed by cheap foreign products, and its industry challenged by foreign technological advances.
