“I am to add that the approval does not cover the part-time mode of delivery of the programmes.

Reacting, Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, expressed satisfaction over the approval, noting that his strategy of implementing due process and best practices for the take-off of the university has paid off and that “the university will emerge as one of best state universities in Nigeria.

Adeleke, in a statement by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed said: “I earlier told my people of Ijeshaland that I have their best interest at heart. I have set up enduring structures. Specifically, our administration removes politics from the question of the University of Ilesa.

“I’m elated that the NUC came, saw and validated the preparedness of the university. I convey the appreciation of the Osun State government to the NUC management. The University of Ilesa is taking off in compliance with best practices and national standards.”

“Our government will continue to support the new university as we are doing for the Osun State University. We will ensure the university maintain a high academic standard. The public should expect the best from the University of Ilesa as they are getting from the Osun State University.”
