In July 2024, Turkey’s Lola Group, in collaboration with CCOD, approved a $33 million investment for the Simon Diedong Dombo University of Business and Integrated Development Studies (SDD-UBIDS). This funding aims to address infrastructure deficits by constructing new faculties, supporting research, and providing hostels on campus through non-recourse and public-private partnership arrangements. A delegation from Lola Group, led by Vivian Fray Tarrece, visited the university and engaged with its management to discuss the project’s implementation.
