OOU Bulletin | September 2026 | Volume 61, Number 9
Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago-Iwoye, continues to demonstrate its commitment to academic excellence, student development, research advancement and strategic institutional partnerships, as highlighted in the September 2026 edition of the University Bulletin.
Leading this edition is a strong message from the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ayodeji Agboola, urging parents and guardians to remain actively involved in their children’s academic progress, discipline and personal development throughout their university education.
Speaking during the University’s 2026/2027 Post-UTME Screening Exercise, the Vice-Chancellor emphasised that parental responsibility extends beyond securing admission, stressing the importance of continuous guidance, moral upbringing and academic monitoring in shaping responsible graduates.
The September edition also features significant developments and achievements across the University, including:
- Strengthening Alumni Engagement: Alumni of the Department of Earth Sciences return to their alma mater for a grand homecoming reunion, donating modern computer workstations and inaugurating the pioneer executive committee of their alumni association to support teaching, research and departmental development.
- Celebrating Academic Leadership: The University congratulates Professor Olufunke Olanike Akinkurolere, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, on her appointment as Chairman of the Governing Council of Redeemer’s College of Technology and Management (RECTEM), recognising her distinguished contributions to engineering education and institutional leadership.
- Advancing Institutional Partnerships: OOU appreciates Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye for his support towards the Faculty of Arts and explores stronger collaboration with the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in education, research-related engagements, capacity building and community development.
- Promoting Medical Research and Policy Reform: At the University’s 130th Inaugural Lecture, Professor Olufemi Adebari Oluwatoyin Oloyede, a Professor of Fetal Medicine, advocates a comprehensive review of Nigeria’s abortion laws, improved prenatal diagnostic services and stronger ethical frameworks for managing complex fetal medical conditions.
These developments reflect OOU’s sustained efforts to strengthen academic quality, celebrate institutional achievements, foster productive relationships with alumni and stakeholders, and contribute meaningfully to national development.
