The Vice-Chancellor expressed optimism that the governor’s second term would usher in greater progress in the education sector, particularly through renewed efforts to strengthen tertiary institutions and position them among the best in the country.
Omojola also commended Oyebanji for the quality of individuals appointed to the university’s Governing Council, noting that their competence and experience had provided the institution with the leadership and support needed to pursue its developmental goals.
He observed that the governor’s confidence in the Governing Council had contributed significantly to the university’s achievements and ongoing efforts to improve its academic standards and infrastructure.

“Having enjoyed relative peace and stability in the university during the governor’s first term, we are confident that his second term will bring greater opportunities for the institution to address its pressing needs and consolidate on the progress already recorded,” Omojola said.
He congratulated the governor and his deputy on behalf of the Governing Council, management, staff and students of the university, while praying for divine wisdom, strength and guidance for Oyebanji as he continues to steer the affairs of Ekiti State towards greater prosperity and development.
