A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Richard Olatunde, revealed that Akeredolu also hailed the institution for its “giant strides and contributions” to the education sector.

“I want to congratulate you for the great stride that your university has made in such a short time. We will always see your impact. You have a polytechnic and other things that you have established in Ife. All of us want to thank you for your great effort. A university is more of a legacy. It remains forever. That you had chosen Oduduwa is a great one for me,” the statement quoted Akeredolu as saying.
It partly read, “Governor Akeredolu said the fascinating point about the University, apart from its contribution to the educational system of the country, is the location.
He also hailed the proprietor of the institution for naming the school ‘Oduduwa’, saying it means a lot to the Yoruba race.
Earlier, Dr Ramon Adegoke Adedoyin described the Governor’s achievements so far as monumental and heartwarming.”
The Chancellor, while on his visit, used the occasion to invite the Governor to the 8th and 9th Joint Convocation of the institution.
