Adwa Pan-African University (Tigrinya: ዓድዋ ፓን ኣፍሪካ ዩኒቨርሲቲ) is a higher education institution under construction in Adwa, Tigray, Ethiopia. The University is named after the historically significant 1896 Battle of Adwa.[1]
Emperor Hailesilasi was the first to propose the establishment of a Pan-African university. Where he said future African leaders would be groomed. He actually offered facilities to host a Pan-African university and proposed the African Standby Force in the form of common defense against colonial type interventions.[2][3]
