Welcome Message by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Adebayo Simeon Bamire
Great Ife!
It gives me great pleasure to bid you welcome to the most recent innovation of our alma mater towards building a Community of Practice among our Stakeholders, especially our cherished alumni – OAU Konnect!
Our Founding Fathers created a strong foundation upon which this noble Citadel of Learning stands tall, strengthened by all who have laboured along the way, and those who still labour till date. Our vision of being a top-rated university in Africa remains indelible in our minds, and our daily commitment is to see this become a reality in our time.
As a testimonial of our continued dedication to provide world-class teaching, research, and community service, we are open to transformative ideas and partnerships. These will facilitate our vision of making Great Ife a Centre of catalytic development and fond memories for our staff, students, alumni, and other stakeholders.
As an institution, we have progressed beyond working in silos, and moved ahead to celebrate collaborations and partnerships among our stakeholders. We therefore invite you to join us on this transformational journey to make Great Ife greater still.
On this note, we warmly welcome you to OAU Konnect
