Oyedepo said that already, the
university had surpassed set
standards but was not
relenting till it achieved its
desired 2022 dream, tagged:
Vision 10: 2022, (1 of 10 in 10).
“It is in view of this that we are
launching our new vision and,
therefore want to charge the
faculty managements to invest
maximally in the review of our
curriculum.
“We must strive to review
pragmatically, the contents of
our curriculum by bringing it
into the realities of the day.
“Let us not be afraid of trying
out new things in new ways
because unless this is done,
you cannot move forward.
“We must strive to have the
creative mind of Christ to
review our curriculum in order
to truly meet the needs of the
society,” he said.
The Chancellor said that
empowering the people
intellectually and practicalising
it through inventions and
discoveries was key in taking
universities to higher levels.
He charged the students to be
excellent performers, especially
in the area of self-discipline, as
it was a major tool in becoming
great leaders.
The chancellor later
inaugurated projects in the
institution, among which was
the vision 10:2022 (1 of 10 in
10) billboard.
He also inaugurated the glass
blowing laboratory at the
chemistry department of the
institution as part of activities
lined up for the celebration.
The laboratory is meant for
fabricating, moulding and re-
moulding of glass.
The Head of Department of
Chemistry, Dr Kolawale
Ajanaku, said that the
laboratory would enable
students to turn waste to
wealth by picking up broken
glasses and putting them into
use.
He said that the laboratory
would not serve the students
alone but would be open to
members of the public for
training.
