The governor called on the varsity’s management to reset the button of regaining its position and promised that government would partner with it to make it an intellectual capital of the continent again.

Makinde noted that the varsity used to be the intellectual capital of the African continent and not just of Nigeria as ideas incubated at the institution went far and wide.

He noted that many leaders, especially from countries in the Southern and Eastern parts of Africa had one interaction or the other with the University of Ibadan in the past.

He hinted that government would construct a pedestrian bridge in front of the varsity’s main gate to end the knocking down of students by motorists.

Makinde solicited the cooperation of the university community, noting that the construction would cause slight and temporary disruption of traffic in the area.

In his address of welcome earlier, chairman of the anniversary committee, Prof. Peter Olapegba, commended Makinde for his positive and significant disposition to the university.

He thanked Makinde for being a true partner-in-progress of the university.
