Prof. Ebunoluwa Oduwole had been appointed by the Governing Council of Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo as the Vice-chancellor of the institution.
This disclosure was made known by a statement made available to journalists by the institution. The outgoing Vice-chancellor was eulogized as an exceptional administrator “whose leadership over the past five years elevated the institution to new heights.”
Dr Olutoyin Okeowo, Chairman of the council and Pro Chancellor of the University explained that the report of the external auditor exemplified substantial growth and development even as Prof Ebunoluwa Oduwole was unveiled as the incoming Vice-Chancellor.
Okeowo said, “Between the period that Prof Adebayo became the Vice-Chancellor in 2020 and now, this University has witnessed tremendous growth. I must say that this growth is being recorded at a time that the nation is going through a challenging economy.
“Those in economic management and finance expert will understand this; if you look at the micro economic indices of the country in the past five years, you would see that it has been quite challenging. Most institutions that are not well managed or do not have someone that is very creative and disciplined at the helms of affairs are not likely to stand the economic storm we have had in this country.
“But Prof Adebayo has been able to ensure yearly growth of this University. I want to say this is highly commendable. On behalf of Anglicans in the Supra West, I want to say thank you.”
Okeowo continued, “In our meeting today, it was made clear that a tree does not make a forest. Prof Adebayo has achieved so much simply because he has a team; dedicated team, principal officers and members of the University’s staff. You all contributed to his success in the past five years, so on behalf of all Anglicans in the Supra West, I want to say thank you to you all. It is a team work that worked so well”
“Let me also use this opportunity to welcome the incoming Vice Chancellor, Prof, Mrs Ebunoluwa Oduwole. She is making history as the first female Vice-Chancellor of this University. I am sure that you will give her the best cooperation so that she will excel in all ramifications. Support he also with your prayers,” said Okeowo.
