Brief History
Kampus Konnekt

Kampus Konnekt49 is an educational consulting service and an online networking platform for students and professionals aspiring to study in Germany to connect with those already studying and working in the country. 
Our vision is to build a social community of Africans interested in studying in Germany and learning German through a network of friendship and cultural interaction by sharing innovative ideas for a common goal.

We want to do this by bridging the socio-cultural and educational gap between African and German youths through training, sensitization and information.

Kampus Konnekt49 was first initiated and founded by Solomon Eko, Adewale Adeoye and Vincent Filani, three dynamic young men who saw the potentials that abound in promoting and making the German language and culture, popular in Nigeria, especially in schools and colleges and today managed by Solomon Eko and Ubong Ikafia. Kampus Konnekt49 has been able to assist several Africans in fulfilling their dreams of studying and living in Germany. 

We will help you kick-start your dreams of learning and living in Germany.
