Professors, Strategic to Attaining World-Class Status, Says VC

  The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Olusola Oyewole, has described Professors in the University as vital to the attainment of a world-class status for FUNAAB. The Vice-Chancellor disclosed this during a 2-day Professorial Retreat, held in the University and coordinated by the Directorate of Grants Management, with the theme “Grant-Winning Professors and Strategic Mentoring”. The Vice-Chancellor noted that there was no way a university could be categorised as world-class, without having world-class Professors

  He stressed that the strength of the university depended on the quality of its Professors, adding that, world-class Professors have academic integrity through adhering to strict academic ethics, are widely travelled, well known, are being cited in current developments in their fields and are outstanding in research, teaching and community service. Professor Oyewole tasked the University Professors not to rest on their oars because they have achieved the Professorial status, but think globally and act locally. read more
