FUOYE Vacancy for the Post of Vice-Chancellor
Federal University Oye-Ekiti has opened applications for the role of Vice-Chancellor, starting February 2026. This article shares who they’re looking for, what the job entails, and how to apply. If you meet the bar and have the energy for this kind of academic leadership, keep reading.
A fresh page is about to turn at the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE). The seat of the Vice-Chancellor, come February 2026, will be empty. The school’s Governing Council is now looking for a new hand to steer the ship.
You know how these things go. Big title, big work. But also, a chance to shape one of Nigeria’s fastest-growing federal universities.
A Quick Look at FUOYE
Let’s pause for a second. This university isn’t just another name on the list. It came alive in 2011 and now spreads across two towns in Ekiti State — Oye and Ikole. The main campus sits in Oye-Ekiti, while the second breathes life into Ikole-Ekiti.
As of now, there are 15 faculties. From Arts and Medicine to Agriculture and Engineering. There’s also a buzzing postgraduate school. Over 59,000 students call FUOYE home. Omo, that’s not small.
Who’s the Council Looking For?
They want more than just another Professor. This is about leadership, vision, calm under pressure and yes, stamina — both mental and physical. Whoever gets the job becomes the heartbeat of the place.
You won’t just handle admin. You’ll guide academic affairs, represent the school outside, lead Senate meetings, and ensure the school runs with order. Even student admissions pass through your table, though Senate sets the rules.
Let’s be honest, it’s not a small role. You’ll have to face chaos, bureaucracy, pressure from all sides — and still move the school forward.
Who Can Apply?
You can’t just be a sharp mind. You must bring proof. These are the key boxes to tick:
- PhD? Yes. Unless you’re already a Professor of Medicine.
- At least 10 years as a Professor in a respected university.
- Clear academic record. You should stand out in your field.
- Experience with international research or big grant wins? That’s a plus.
- Know how to handle real university growth and its many challenges.
- Not above 65 years old by February 2026.
- Healthy — physically and mentally. No jokes.
- Character? Solid. Clean record. People should speak well of you.
And please, this is a federal job. So if you’re playing, come correct.
Terms of the Job
The appointment is for five years, non-renewable. You get the usual federal university Vice-Chancellor perks. But specifics will come in your offer letter — if you get it.
How to Apply
If you’ve ticked the boxes and still feel ready, send in your application via FUOYE’s official career portal. You have just six weeks from when this was posted. After that, no show.
