Prof. Olawoyin made this remark while responding to the requests by the Dean of the Faculty of Education, Ipetu Ijesa campus, Prof A.B. Alhassan during the Governing Council's visit to the campus. He was worried about the limited presence of private sector partnership in UNIOSUN.
Prof Olawoyin consequently urged the university management to explore other strategies adopted by sister universities where private sector participation in hostel development had been resounding successful. According to the Prof. Olawoyin, the need to have hostels on campus was to ensure security of lives of students and provide a conducive learning environment.
Among others, the Dean also requested for Council‘s is approval to allow students of the faculty to be left in their primary academic domain to run their programmes to completion (100-400 level) instead of transferring them to other campuses to take some compulsory and required courses. The Dean, Prof. Ayanniyi Bako Alhassan, also called for the employment and deployment of specialised lecturers to the faculty to handle courses that were being taken in other campuses, to help the university in its bid to produce the right caliber of professionals. He also implored the university to provide subject-based laboratories in the campus to aid the effective teaching of subject-based courses.
Responding, the Council Chairman, Prof. G.A. Olawoyin promised that the requests of the faculty would be adequately looked into. The chairman and other council members also later paid a courtesy call visit to the Palace of the Ajalaye of Ipetu Ijesa, HRM Oba Adekunle Baderin.
