“On behalf of the Government, management of UNIOSUN and the good people of Osun, I appreciate the Chancellor, Mrs Folorunsho Alakija for her kind donation of a world-class Teaching Hospital Complex to the institution. Her immense interest in our University is unparalleled and much appreciated.
“Our resolve is to make UNIOSUN the preferred University of Excellence in research & human capacity building in Nigeria and the world over. We will continue to do all that is required to achieve this dream, he said.
