Oyo State governor, ‘Seyi Makinde, on Friday, said that his administration’s commitment to improving the education sector has been yielding positive results.

The governor stated this while inaugurating the Governing Councils of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, and the Abiola Ajimobi Technical University, Ibadan on Friday, April 4.

Governor Makinde, at the event held at the Executive Chamber of the Governor’s Office, said in a statement by the Special Adviser (Media), Dr Sulaimon Olanrewaju, that Oyo State owned one university and a half when he took office in 2019, but is now the sole owner of three universities, which are doing well in their own rights.

The governor said: “When we came in 2019, we had one and a half universities, because we had one full university owned by the state and LAUTECH that was jointly owned by Oyo and Osun states.

“But today, we are about inaugurating Governing Councils for two out of the three universities belonging to Oyo State.

“When we talked about sole ownership for LAUTECH people thought it was a joke. They said they had gone through the process before and it was reversed. They said they had even done it up to the extent of pronouncing the university owned by Oyo State only, but that it did not work. But we were not deterred.

“We followed the process and, eventually, the NUC pronounced LAUTECH as solely owned by Oyo State.

“There was also a kind of opacity with Abiola Ajimobi Technical University, but that has also been resolved. Today, the university has made a lot of progress.

“Again, we upgraded the Emmanuel Alayande College of Education, Oyo, to a University of Education.

“So, this shows that when we say education is one of the major pillars of our administration, we are putting in the work to improve the sector. From basic to tertiary education, we have made substantial progress in the past six years in Oyo State.

“So, I want to say thank you to all the people who have supported me and to tell them not to relent. We still have two more years and one month to go.”

Governor Makinde added that the state government would continue to support the institutions to meet their obligations to students, staffers and the people of the state.

According to the governor, the state would address the issue of subvention to the two institutions, while it would also fulfill its promise to build Primary Health Care Centres on the campuses of LAUTECH and Tech-U before the end of the year.

He added that the facilities would also be provided with ambulances.

The governor said, “The inauguration is not just a ceremonial moment. The Governing Councils of both universities are responsible for overseeing their strategic development including the academic direction, among others. They have important roles to play in both universities.

“For Prof Omole and members of his Council, you have done the job for four years. This is the reward for your hard work. And, for Dr Adeduntan and his team, I believe that a solid foundation has been laid and you are not going to start from scratch.

“I believe that we have appointed people who have what it takes to work with other stakeholders in the universities, so that our goal of ensuring that our state-owned universities are some of the best in the country and the continent is achieved.

“On our part as a state, we will continue to do all we can to ensure that we support our state-owned universities, the stakeholders and the students.”

The newly-inaugurated Governing Council members for LAUTECH are: Professor Ayodeji Omole as Chairman, Professor R. O. R. Kalilu – Vice Chancellor; Professor A. T. J. Ogunkunle – Deputy Vice Chancellor, Strategy and Development; Professor Dauda Araromi – Deputy Vice Chancellor, Academic and Innovation; Mr. Idowu Olukunle Adeosun, Mrs. Titilayomi Ahmadu, ⁠Mr. Jelili Bamidele Busari, Mr. Teslim Adediran and Mrs Yinka Balogun – Registrar.

The newly-inaugurated Governing Council members for Abiola Ajimobi Technical University are; Dr. Adesola Kazeem Adeduntan – Chairman, Professor Adesola Ajayi – Vice Chancellor; Professor Iyiola Tella – Deputy Vice Chancellor; Hon. Seyi Joseph Adisa, ⁠Professor (Engr.) Samson Olakunle Ojoawo, Professor Mojeed Kolawole Akinsola, Dr. Aminat Adeyemi Ahmed, Mrs. B. T. Oyinloye, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education; Mrs. A. A. Fasina, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Finance; and Mrs. Olanrewaju V. Omolola. – Acting Registrar/ Secretary.
