Abiola Ajimobi Technical University, Ibadan, is set to hold its fifth convocation ceremony on Saturday, December 13, 2025, with a total of 183 students graduating across three faculties.
Speaking with journalists on Monday, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Adesola Ajayi, disclosed that the graduating students emerged from the Faculty of Engineering, the Faculty of Environmental Science and Management, and the Faculty of Natural and Applied Sciences. He added that an impressive 50 students will be awarded First Class degrees.
Highlighting the institution’s academic advancement, Prof. Ajayi announced that the National Universities Commission (NUC) has accredited two additional programmes—Bachelor of Nursing Sciences and Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Sciences—bringing the university’s total number of accredited programmes to 32.
The Vice Chancellor noted that the university has continued to expand not only in staff strength but also in staff capacity development. According to him, more staff members participated in professional trainings this year, both within and outside Nigeria, than in previous years. He added that infrastructural development has also seen significant improvement.
“So in terms of infrastructural developments, staff capacity investment, educational programme enhancement and leadership advancement, we have made progress,” he said.
Prof. Ajayi expressed deep appreciation to the Visitor to the University and Governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde, for his consistent support. He credited the governor for the improved perimeter fencing of the institution and enhanced security measures, including the establishment of an Amotekun security post at the university’s entrance.
He further revealed that Governor Makinde often pays unscheduled visits—even at night—to assess the security situation on campus personally.
The Vice Chancellor also acknowledged the support of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, as well as local government chairmen, noting that their continued commitment to the development of the university has been invaluable.
The institution’s fifth convocation ceremony is expected to draw dignitaries, families, and stakeholders as Ajimobi Technical University celebrates another milestone in its academic journey.
