Private University: Ogbomoso set to host Education Summit on Saturday

Admin -


As part of efforts to establish a privately owned university in Ogbomoso, the Ogbomoso Academics, in partnership with Ogbomoso Community Youth Forum (OCYF), will, on Saturday, organise a broad-based education summit themed “The Ogbomoso University: The Challenges and Prospects.”

Ogbomoso, the second largest city in Oyo State, Nigeria, does not have any private university.

The summit is expected to be attended by seasoned scholars and educational administrators of international repute.

Justice Afolabi Adeniran (retd), President, Ogbomoso Parapo Worldwide, will be the Chief host at the summit which will, among others, consider the challenges inherent in the vision.

It is recalled that the idea of establishing a privately owned university spearheaded by the people of Ogbomoso has been on for some time with various proposed brand names such as “Ogbomoso University” and “Ajilete University”.


In a release signed by the duo of Mr Ben Onigbinde and Revd Peter Olaleye for the groups earlier, the summit, geared towards bolstering “education sector in Ogbomoso zone, Oyo State and Nigeria in general,” will specifically “explore the founding of a university in the ancient city of Ogbomoso whose proposed name is Ogbomoso University.”

Slated for Ogbomoso Recreation Club, at 9:00a.m., speakers including Prof Razaq Olatunde Rom Kalilu (the acting Vice Chancellor of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, LAUTECH); Prof Joshua Ogunwole (Vice Chancellor, Bowen University, Iwo), Prof Mrs Alice Jekayinfa; Dr Adeniyi Temitope Adetunji; Revd Peter Olaleye, President of OCYF; Prof. Kayode John Oyewumi and Prof Timothy Olagbemiro (former Vice Chancellor of Bowen University, Iwo and Edwin Clark University and who is chairman of Ogbomoso Academics) will ex-tray the theme.

It is also noted that OCYF, under the dogged leadership of Revd Olaleye has been hell-bent on the development of Ogbomoso in terms government presence, basic facilities, among others, with his constant relationship and dialogue with the high profiled and eminent personalities of Ogbomoso origin and beyond.
