—

Our Assessment

This promise is rated Completed. On November 20, 2020, the National Universities Commission officially dissolved the joint ownership with Osun State and granted Oyo State full control of the university following successful diplomatic negotiations.

Why It Matters

Joint ownership led to constant funding crises and strikes that left students at home for months. By taking full responsibility, Oyo State ensured a stable school calendar and the ability to grow the university. This move also allowed the state to turn the school into a multi-campus institution, bringing higher education closer to people in other regions.
