Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has inaugurated the reconstituted Governing Council of Osun State University, with Professor Adewale Abiodun Oladipo retained as the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman.

Adeleke expressed satisfaction with the achievements recorded by UNIOSUN under its management and previous governing council, describing the progress as evidence of what can be achieved through stability, commitment and a shared vision.

According to the governor, retaining Professor Oladipo as Pro-Chancellor would provide the continuity and institutional experience needed to build on the university’s existing achievements.
