Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has highlighted infrastructure and academic developments at Osun State University while defending the extension of the Vice-Chancellor's tenure under the amended state university law.
Speaking through Deputy Governor Kola Adewusi at the university's convocation, Adeleke cited 40 main building projects constructed and commissioned over the preceding four years, alongside more than 30 complementary works.
The projects cited include the FIFA-standard Sports Complex, a three-in-one Science Laboratory Complex and two lecture theatres commissioned in August 2026, as well as renovations, procurement, supplies and solar installations.
The governor also cited continued academic sessions, implementation of the 2025 Federal Government-staff union agreement, expansion of student numbers and progress involving the Modupe and Folorunso Alakija Medical Research and Training Hospital.
Adeleke said he had approved a two-year extension of the Vice-Chancellor's tenure from January 4, 2027, following consultations and compliance with state law, with the State House of Assembly having passed an amendment to the Osun State University Law.
The governor also referenced five Federal Government signature projects whose foundations were reportedly laid during the month and urged staff and management to continue working with the governing board on the university's administration and development.
