In a statement released by the Public Relations Officer of the No.1 University, Mr. Abiodun Olarewaju, on Thursday, he stated that the university ranking body rated the curricular, research, academic and general administration of the university as the best in the country.
The Universities of Lagos and Ilorin came second and third respectively.
Reacting to the news, the Vice Chancellor of OAU, Prof. Bamitale Omole,
said this was the first time in the history of higher education in the
country where one university “would maintain its position as the first
and the best in the country for more than four consecutive times.”
Omole
attributed the feat to years of hard work and dedication to duty of the
academic, administrative and technical members of staff, “whose
contributions have placed the university far and above more than 100
other universities in Nigeria.”
The statement partly read:
“Prof.
Omole emphasised his determination to make training and retraining of
members of staff, on a regular basis, his topmost priority, adding that
he would not rest on his oars until OAU becomes the best in Africa, and
one of the top 10 in the world.”
Omole called on the Federal Government to invest more funds into university education in the country in order to achieve more.
The
VC also called on the alumni of the university to assist the school in
the overall development of the institution “so that the OAU would grow
more in leaps and bounds in the realisation of the dreams of the
founding fathers.”
