New EKSU Pro Chancellor Pledges to Move the Institution Forward

The Pro Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of Ekiti State University (EKSU), Dele Adesina, SAN last Thursday admonished Nigerian Universities to change focus from old ways  by channelling their energies and resources to productive ventures that will affect  positively , their immediate communities and the Nigerian people generally.   He said that  Universities in the country must henceforth be in forefront  of the Nation’s development.

We are known for quality education. Parents all over Nigeria used to bring their children to Ekiti to study, even at secondary schools level. The university therefore must focus on productive ventures, there must be accountability and probity, students must not only live together, they must also live well. By its very nature, Universities are designed to solve the problems of their societies. EKSU therefore must be at the fore front of institutions that can solve Nigerian various problems through creative thinking and products that could solve societal problems,”he stressed

We must learn to work together to achieve our set goals without minding who gets the accolade. I want you to know that I am fully committed to these ideals”, he said.
