IFE, BEST UNIVERSITY IN NIGERIA AFTER UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN – Prof. Abel Idowu Olayinka.
The Vice chancellor, Prof. Abel Idowu Olayinka has said that University of Ife is the best university in Nigeria after University of Ibadan. He said this as he hosted a lecture at Trenchard hall specially to mark the 70th anniversary of University of Ibadan.
He established that November 17 is normally celebrated as the foundation but October 5th was when the university had her first students.
The lecture was titled: “Strategies for Attaining World Class Status by 2028 and beyond.” It was delivered by Professor O. Sylvester Adegoke, an alumnus of the prestigious university, class of 62.
Thus, he suggested ways for the university to be self-sustaining through endowment, gratuities, setting up an Alumnae office to generate funds and also working towards the improvements of our ranking system.
