Nigerians laud Seyi Makinde for raising Oyo IGR by 26.4% in H1 2020<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cLet me add that government is particularly worried about the avalanche of petitions, many bordering on serious allegations of bribery and corruption as well as disrespect for due process, in the course of selecting new vice chancellors in some of our federal universities.<\/p>\n
\u201cGovernment has set in motion several mechanisms to ensure that the processes are conducted in an open, fair and transparent manner and to ensure that all violators are properly sanctioned,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The president noted that the strike by the lecturers had resulted in prolonged disruption of academic activities in public universities.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe recognise the rights of workers to express their grievances through lawful actions, including strikes.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, there is a reciprocal obligation on the part of workers and unions to ensure the survival and sustainability of their places of employment.<\/p>\n
\u201cStrike tends to compound the problems in the education sector. The current strike by university teachers has gone on for too long and caused enough devastation to the lives of students and the universities alike.<\/p>\n
\u201cI urge university teachers to return to their classrooms and seek further accommodation with government from the productive ambience of their campuses,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The president, who is the Visitor to the university, reiterated his government\u2019s determination to pay utmost attention to security, stressing that corruption, nepotism, kidnapping and other social vices would be eradicated in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to assure you of my government\u2019s determination to continue to pay utmost attention to the issue of security.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is the collective commitment of this administration to ensure that we have a society that will guarantee peace, stability and opportunity for people of different categories and that Nigerians are given the opportunity to excel in their chosen endeavours.<\/p>\n
\u201cHence, our unrelenting and determined efforts to eradicate corruption, nepotism, kidnapping and other social vices that are threatening to cripple this nation.
\n\u201cWe shall not relent in the war against these evils and with God on our side, we shall prevail.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me say, clearly, that the corporate existence of Nigeria is not negotiable,\u201d he said, adding that efforts would be made to protect the country as a single entity.
\nAll divisions, conflicts and violent clashes should be unanimously condemned.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must embrace the sanctity of human life and peaceful co-existence. It is only in an atmosphere of peace that our developmental potential can fully blossom,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n
In his address, Nde Joshua Waklek, the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Council of the university, said that the institution would continue to invest in human capital development and continue to improve on its gown-and-town relationship.<\/p>\n
Waklek pleaded for the support of the government in order for the institution to address its financial challenges.<\/p>\n
He lauded the efforts of the Vice Chancellor and the entire university community at achieving seventh position in university ranking in Africa and first in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
On the selection of the 13th vice chancellor for the institution, he promised that a credible candidate would finally emerge through a transparent and fair process.<\/p>\n
Also speaking, the vice chancellor appealed to the federal government to give the university in form of special reconstruction and rehabilitation funds.<\/p>\n
Olayinka congratulated the graduands whom, he said, had been found worthy both in character and learning and wished them resounding success in their respective future endeavours.<\/p>\n
The event, which had started on Nov. 12 with the UI-SME summit, climaxed with the foundation day and convocation of PhD graduands.<\/p>\n
Fifty seven candidates from various disciplines were awarded Doctor of Philosophy degrees (PhD), with the Faculty of Education leading the pack.<\/p>\n
Also, 24 candidates of the Pan African University Life and Earth Sciences Institute (PAULESI) were awarded PhD degrees in their respective programmes.<\/p>\n
Four prominent Nigerians were conferred with honorary doctorate degrees.<\/p>\n
They included General Theophilus Danjuma (rtd.) Dr Layiwola Fatona, Chief Comfort Idowu and Mr John Coumantaros.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
