Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has dissolved the Governing Council of Osun State University, UNIOSUN, and reconstituted a new council for the institution.
The governor said the decision was aimed at strengthening the governance structure of the university, ensuring continuity in its administration and preventing any gap in its operations.
A statement issued on Friday in Osogbo announced the constitution of the new council, which is chaired by Sooko (Prof.) Adewale Abiodun Oladipo as Pro-Chancellor and Chairman.
Oladipo, who headed the previous council, retained his position in the newly constituted council.
Other members of the new Governing Council are Alhaji Gbadegesin Lawal; Her Excellency, Otunba Titi Laoye-Ponnle; Mr Akinola Franklin Omoniyi; Chief Funminiyi Awotide; Mr Orija Samuel Adebayo; and Mrs Adewale Adetayo Bola.
Adeleke charged the council to build on the achievements recorded by the university and provide the necessary support for its continued development.
The governor specifically urged the council to sustain what he described as the university’s “excellent record” and support the management in delivering further innovations.
According to the statement, the reconstitution is also intended to prevent gaps in the administration and operations of the institution, which the governor described as a globally rated university.
The new council is expected to work with the university management in advancing its academic, administrative and developmental objectives.
