On Thursday, the National Universities Commission (NUC) presented a Letter of Recognition for the official take-off of the University of Ilesa in Osun State.

The presentation of the letter marks the successful completion of the formal documentation process for the University’s establishment.

He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to ensure that the university’s establishment does not impose an undue financial burden on the state.
