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.
