Pioneering Sustainable Standards in Africa

Empowering Professionals, Advancing National Development.

The Sustainable Procurement, Environmental and Social Standards Enhancement (SPESSE) Center of Excellence at the University of Benin (UNIBEN) represents a paradigm shift in how human capital is developed for the 21st-century economy.

Born out of a critical need identified by the World Bank and the Federal Government of Nigeria, our center is dedicated to professionalizing specialized sectors that are fundamental to sustainable development. We recognize that infrastructure, policy and growth are only as robust as the standards they are built upon.
