The Oyo State House of Assembly on Wednesday visited the management of the University of Ibadan, Ibadan, to seek help on finding a lasting solution to perennial crises rocking the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomosho, and the Adeseun Ogundoyin Polytechnic, Eruwa.
Speaker of the House, Adebo Ogundoyin said the Oyo State Government was proud of the numerous impacts the premier university had been making in educational growth, research, discoveries and economic development in Nigeria and the world at large.
Describing UI as the mother of all universities in Nigeria, Ogundoyin said: “We are your host because UI is built on the pacesetter’s soil, and we are here to seek your assistance on some of the problems our schools are facing, because we know UI has the personnel and human resources that can liberate these schools.”
Ogundoyin, who lamented the hardship students of the Adeseun Ogundoyin Polytechnic, Eruwa are facing over unaccredited courses, said the polytechnic needed speedy accreditation of courses to restore its integrity and save the students who had become stranded.
UI Deputy Vice Chancellor, Administrative, Prof. Kayode Adebowale, who received the Oyo lawmakers on behalf of the vice chancellor of the institution, noted that the university would always be open to a continuous friendship and relationship in all areas concerning the development of Oyo State.
