UNIOSUN GETS NEW GOVERNING COUNCIL

The Visitor to Osun State University, Mr. Rauf

Adesoji Aregbesola on Monday, 8th August, 2016,

inaugurated a new Governing Council of Osun State

University (UNIOSUN).

In his acceptance speech, the Pro-Chancellor and

Chairman, Governing Council, Mallam Yusuf Olaolu

Ali described the University as a “Potentially Great

University”. Mallam Ali averred that the appointment

of the team is indeed a call to service; “We must

therefore be ready to hit the ground running by

placing our time, resources and endowments at the

disposal of the University so that the raison d’etre

for our appointment will be realized and the

expectation of the State met”.

Mallam Ali further reiterated that it is axiomatic to

underscore the point even at the risk of stating the

obvious, that Government alone cannot fund education

to the enviable height and to that extent, all hands

must be on deck. To this end, he solicited for the co-

operation and collaboration of the Management,

Teaching, Non-teaching staff and the students of the

University in the arduous task ahead of the team.

Mallam Ali gave the assurance on behalf of other

Council members that their decision shall be driven by

justice, fairness, equity, humanness and fear of God.

“We shall always be guided by the philosophy of

what is best for the system at all times, irrespective of

our individual wishes, interest and aspiration, what is

best for the system is best for all”.

The newly constituted external governing council

members include; Mallam Yusuf Olaolu Alli, SAN

(Chairman), Prof. Charles Abiodun Alao, Prof.

Solomon Akinboye, Sir Ademola Aladekomo, Prof.
