THE vice chancellor of KolaDaisi University, Ibadan (KDU-I), Professor Adeniyi Olatubosun, says the idea of establishing KDU-I was ‘conceived early in the new millennium’ for the purpose of making education accessible to the teeming youths who desired it.

According to him, since the take-off of academic activities in the institution in 2017\2018, there had been steady progressive steps toward achieving the vision of the university, which is “to become a world-class institution of excellence in the production of graduates who are able to respond to the socioeconomic needs of a knowledge-driven economy.”

Professor Olatunbosun spoke while addressing newsmen at a press conference organised by the institution as part of activities lined up for0 bh

the maiden convocation for the institution.

The vice-chancellor, stated that the university now runs 18 academic programmes in three faculties which are the faculties of Arts, Management and Social Sciences, Applied Sciences and Law.

According to him, a total of 52 students will be graduating at the maiden convocation on Thursday, 4 November, basically from two faculties of the institution, namely faculties of Arts Management and Social Sciences, Applied Sciences.

While affirming that the university has well-equipped laboratories for all its science programmes, Olatubosun said the Department of Mass Communication equally has adequately equipped studios for its programmes, adding that plans are also in progress to have a world-class studio for the Accounting programme.

He noted that the institution in the last four years had painstakingly groomed its students to stand out in all areas of  human endeavours, hence the reason for partnership with many professional bodies.

These, according to him, include the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria; (ICAN) CIMA,” Bred-Hub, an Artificial Intelligence robotics company, as well as maintaining linkages with foreign institutions such as the US Consulate with approval as a hosting institution of its Fulbright Scholarship programme; Florida University, U.S.A, Central State University, Ohio, among others.

He disclosed that plans were already in top gear at the institution to establish a medical school, which he noted was the passion of the founder, Bashorun Kola Daisi, after Law.

He said experts from various fields of Medicine had already constituted a planning committee to work towards the actualisation of the project.

He lauded the founder for bringing forth his great and lofty ideas to fruition in KDU-I, just as he announced that the founder would be installed as the first chancellor of the university at the grand finale of the convocation activities on Thursday, 4 November, 2021.

The vice chancellor also appreciated the founding members of the Board of Trustees (BoT), governing council, former management staff for their commitment to the progress and development of the university; as well as the current staff and students, urging them not to rest on their oars in lifting the university to greater heights.
