He added that in the last one year, the state government had supported the university to complete an office complex at the Isale-Osun campus to meet the universityโs requirements for health-related programme accreditations.
โWe have also supported the university towards the construction of its ultra-modern Anatomy Complex which we commissioned earlier today. We have also prioritised the construction of roads leading to the student area at Sasha Market and other campuses of our University.
โWe paid a yearโs arrears promptly to the staff members. We have also paid palliative allowances to all workers, and we are currently working on the modalities for the implementation of the newly approved minimum wage,โ Adeleke said.
Speaking further, Adeleke admonished staff and students of the university, to remain steadfast in their responsibilities and to continue to serve the country with dedication.
He said, โThe progress of this citadel of learning can only be sustained through a peaceful and harmonious environment. Let us avoid unnecessary rancour and acrimony. Instead, focus on the common goal of advancing this great institution.
โTo the parents and guardians gathered here today, I urge you not to completely let go of your children as they step into the next phase of their lives.โ
