The National Universities Commission (NUC) on Thursday presented a Letter of Recognition for the official take off of University of Ilesa, Osun State.
The presentation of the letter gives birth to the successful completion of the formal documentation process for the establishment of the University.
By the recognition, the University becomes the 60th State University and 220th University in Nigeria.
The letter conveying the recognition was personally received from the NUC Executive Secretary, Prof. Abubakar Rasheed by the Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola.
Receiving the Letter of Recognition at the NUC Secretariat, Abuja, Governor Oyetola said the event has further laid credence to his commitment to upgrading the 44 years old College of Education to a University.
He reiterated his administration’s commitment to ensuring that the establishment of the university will not in any way put an unnecessary financial burden on the state.
