Hammed Shittu in Ilorin 

The Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Wahab Olasupo Egbewole (SAN) has lauded the Kwara State Governor, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, over his directive to relevant state functionaries to open the Tanke Flyover Bridge for the seamless traffic along the University road Ilorin in view of the forthcoming convocation ceremony of the institution.

Already, the management of the institution has slated the convocation ceremonies for Friday, 20th, Saturday, 21st, and Monday, 23rd October, 2023.

However, the vice chancellor of the institution, Prof. Egbewole in a statement issued in Ilorin yesterday said the directive would greatly facilitate free flow of  vehicular movement during the University’s forthcoming Convocation ceremonies slated for Friday, 20th, Saturday, 21st, and Monday, 23rd October, 2023.

The statement, which was signed by the University’s Director of Corporate Affairs, Mr. Kunle Akogun, Egbewole noted that the directive would start from Monday, October 16th, 2023 up till 23rd October, 2023.

He said the directive was in response to a solicitation letter earlier written to the Governor by the University management. 

The Vice Chancellor added that, he got hints of the governor’s directive from his interactions with some top state government officials.

According to him, the directive would greatly facilitate vehicular movement during the University’s forthcoming Convocation ceremonies slated for Friday, 20th, Saturday, 21st, and Monday, 23rd October, 2023.

Egbewole also expressed gratitude to the Governor for his promise to mend the bad portions along the University Road up to the institution’s Main Gate before the scheduled convocation days 

The Vice Chancellor pointed out that the promptness with which Mallam AbdulRazaq responded to the University management’s appeal has marked him out as a listening Governor.
