The Chief Executive Officer of Rest Parks and Gardens, Ilesa, Alagba Iyiola Faniyi of Olufẹmi Avenue, Imo, Ilesa, Osun State, has congratulated the Senator representing Osun East Senatorial District, Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi, on the approval of the provisional operating licence for the newly established Obokun University, Ilase-Ijesa, by the National Universities Commission (NUC).
Alagba Faniyi described the development as pleasant news and a valuable addition to Ijesaland, commending Senator Fadahunsi for his efforts and contributions towards making the university project a reality.
He said the approval was a significant milestone that would expand access to higher education for young people in Osun East, Osun State and Nigeria at large. He also noted that the institution would create opportunities for employment, economic growth, research and community development.
Recalling his personal involvement during the university's assessment process, Faniyi disclosed that he had the privilege of representing His Imperial Majesty, the Owa Obokun of Ijesaland, during the NUC delegation's evaluation visit to the institution a few months ago.
According to him, the visit gave him the opportunity to tour the university's temporary campus and see the facilities provided by the management.
He expressed admiration for what he saw, adding that the quality of facilities already available at the temporary campus had raised his expectations about what the permanent campus would eventually become.
"If this is what you call a temporary campus, only God knows what the permanent site will look like. It could possibly become one of the best in the country because what you have on the ground at present is, by all standards, highly commendable," he said.
Faniyi further described the university's approval as an achievement worthy of recognition, particularly because of its potential to benefit present and future generations.
He expressed confidence that Obokun University would grow into a reputable institution of academic excellence and become a source of pride for Ilase-Ijesa, Osun East, Ijesaland and Nigeria.
He prayed that God Almighty would continue to bless Senator Fadahunsi with good health, happiness and greater accomplishments, describing him as a source of pride to the people of Ijesaland.
Appreciation for Community Development Support
Beyond the university development, Alagba Faniyi used the opportunity to remind Senator Fadahunsi of their previous meetings at different occasions, including at Ilase-Ijesa and Holy Trinity Church, Omofe, Ilesa.
Introducing himself further, he identified himself as the Patron of Olufẹmi Avenue Community in Omi-Asoro, Brewery, Ilesa.
On behalf of the community, he expressed appreciation to the senator for his donation of a transformer to the area, describing the gesture as an important contribution towards improving electricity supply and the welfare of residents.
He also expressed the community's expectation of the senator's visit for the energising and official commissioning of the transformer.
Invitation to Address Olufẹmi Avenue Community
Alagba Faniyi also extended an invitation to Senator Fadahunsi to visit Olufẹmi Avenue Community and address its residents at a date convenient for him.
He said the community would be delighted to welcome the senator and provide an opportunity for residents to interact with him.
Concluding his message, Faniyi once again congratulated Senator Fadahunsi on the approval of Obokun University, stressing that investment in education remains an investment in the future.
He wished the university's management and the people of Ilase-Ijesa success in the journey towards building an institution that would contribute to educational advancement and national development.
