GOOD NEWS UNIOSUN GETS NEW GOVERNING COUNCIL

The Visitor to Osun State University, Mr. Rauf Adesoji
Aregbesola on Monday, 8th August, 2016, inaugurated a
new Governing Council of Osun State University
(UNIOSUN). In his acceptance speech, the Pro-
Chancellor and Chairman, Governing Council, Mallam
Yusuf Olaolu Ali described the University as a
“Potentially Great University” .
Mallam Ali averred that the appointment of the team is
indeed a call to service; “We must therefore be ready to hit
the ground running by placing our time, resources and
endowments at the disposal of the University so that the
raison d’etre for our appointment will be realized and the
expectation of the State met” .
Mallam Ali further reiterated that it is axiomatic to
underscore the point even at the risk of stating the
obvious, that Government alone cannot fund education
to the enviable height and to that extent, all hands must
be on deck. To this end, he solicited for the co-operation
and collaboration of the Management, Teaching, Non-
teaching staff and the students of the University in the
arduous task ahead of the team.
Mallam Ali gave the assurance on behalf of other Council
members that their decision shall be driven by justice,
fairness, equity, humanness and fear of God. “We shall
always be guided by the philosophy of what is best for the
system at all times, irrespective of our individual wishes,
interest and aspiration, what is best for the system is best
for all” .
