UNILORIN At 40: Senate President Praises Quality Of Institution

 President of the Nigeria Senate Dr. Bukola Saraki has extolled the virtue of the University of Ilorin, UNILORIN, for its role in national development as the institution celebrate its 40th anniversary of academic excellence.
The senate president said, “The University of Ilorin, one of Nigeria's most prestigious institutions of learning has forged, formed, and planted fires in the minds of hundreds of thousands of students.”

Needless to say, the contributions of UNILORIN's past students to the Nigerian project cannot be underestimated. UNILORIN should also be proud to have produced vibrant minds like my successor Governor of Kwara State, Dr. Abdulfatah Ahmed, Professor Isiaq Oloyede (Immediate past Vice Chancellor of the University and present Secretary of Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs), Professor Abdul Rasheed Na'Allah (Vice Chancellor, Kwara State University), Dr. Sarah Alade, (former acting Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria), Professor Charles Ayo (present Vice-Chancellor, Covenant University), among others.

He explained that over the years, its vibrant Faculties of Arts, Engineering, Science, Law, Education and others have also demonstrated that UNILORIN will continue to be at the forefront of academic discovery and innovation in Nigeria, Africa, and very soon, the world.

Again, as I join all founding fathers, past and present administrative heads, students, staff, and Nigerians as a whole to celebrate the Better By Far University of Ilorin, I wish her many more years of vibrant and tremendous contributions to academia in Nigeria.
