Welcome
speech
by
Professor
Labode
Popoola
Vice-Chancellor
I
have
the
pleasure
to
welcome
you
to
the
website
of
Osun
State
University,
Nigeria.
Our
main
campus
is
located
in
Osogbo,
the
capital
of
the
State
of
Osun,
while
our
other
campuses
are
located
in
five
other
towns
(
Ejigbo,
Ifetedo,
Ikire,
Ipetu-Ijesa
and
Okuku)
spread
across
the
six
geopolitical
zones
of
the
State.
Licensed
on
21
December,
2006,
we
opened
our
doors
to
full
academic
activities
on
21
September
2007
and
we
have
continued
to
make
steady
progress
in
the
development
of
facilities
and
human
resource
to
match
the
growing
needs
of
the
institution.
At
Osun
State
University,
we
are
driven
by
our
vision
and
desire
to
“be
a
centre
of
excellence
providing
high
quality
teaching
and
learning
experience,
which
will
engender
the
production
of
entrepreneurial
graduates
capable
of
impacting
on
their
environment
while
being
globally
competitive.”
As
an
institution,
we
have
committed
ourselves
to
creating
“a
unique
institution
committed
to
the
pursuit
of
academic
innovation,
skill-based
training
and
a
tradition
of
excellence
in
teaching,
research
and
community
service.”
The
UNIOSUN,
as
we
are
fondly
called,
was
not
set
up
simply
to
add
to
the
number
of
institutions
dotting
the
higher
educational
landscape
of
Nigeria.
Rather,
the
University
was
established
to
meet
a
felt
need
for
a
higher
institution
that
will
make
significant
difference
in
addressing
the
challenges
confronting
the
higher
education
sector
in
our
country
and
continent
at
large.
These
include
the
problems
of
access,
quality,
funding
and
relevance.
We
are
continually
making
available
spaces
for
thousands
of
would-be
undergraduates
while
providing
quality
instruction
with
curricula
that
address
the
critical
needs
of
the
society
in
the
21st
century.
Our
funding
model
is
novel
in
the
sense
that
it
provides
for
cost
sharing
between
the
proprietors
(i.e.
the
State
Government),
the
people
of
Osun
State
at
large
through
the
contribution
from
all
the
Local
Governments
in
the
State,
and
the
beneficiaries
who
contribute
their
quota
through
the
modest
tuition
paid.
This
has
enabled
the
development
of
a
body
of
stakeholders
committed
to
the
success
of
this
project.
With
the
approval
by
the
National
Universities
Commission
(NUC)
of
our
Postgraduate
School
in
June,
2014,
we
have
commenced
admissions
into
our
higher
degree
and
postgraduate
diploma
programmes.
We
are
therefore
set
to
contribute
even
more
to
our
country’s
quest
for
quality
human
resource.
