THE Oduduwa University Ipetumodu Alumni Association (OUIAA) has honoured members and students of the school that have continued to make an impact. The recognition took place during the maiden Alumni Award Ceremony, themed “Legends and Leaders: Bridging Generations at OUI.”
The ceremony brought together distinguished alumni, current students, university staff, and guests in a shared moment of recognition and celebration.
The award ceremony featured recognitions across three major categories—staff, alumni, and students—alongside a prestigious Pillar of Legacy Award presented to individuals with invaluable contributions to the university community. It also spotlighted excellence in leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship, public service, academics, and the arts.
Chairman, Board of Trustees (OUIAA), Chief Isaac Amao, who was represented by a member of the board, Mrs. Tolulope Okiemute, praised the university’s and the association’s leadership.
“This initiative is a testament to our community’s commitment to excellence… Let your character be your hallmark,” Amao urged students, encouraging them to uphold values of integrity and excellence.
In his official remarks, OUIAA President, Marvelous Ayodele, described the event as “a bold step in institutionalising a culture of recognition, pride, and legacy.”
“The idea behind this award is not just to honour the exceptional but to remind our community that excellence is timeless, and service leaves footprints,” Ayodele said. “It was time to institutionalise a moment where those who have gone ahead return to pull others up, and where students can see in real time what it means to live a life of impact.”
He added that the event represents the beginning of a lasting tradition aimed at inspiring students and alumni to pursue excellence, service, and leadership, in line with the university’s motto: Knowledge and Culture.
“This is just the beginning,” Ayodele said. “We are committed to building a future where every student, alumnus, and staff member feels seen, valued, and challenged to become more.”
