Updated Achievements

The Ogbomoso Academics since its inception, our list of interested membership continue to grow. It is gratifying to note too, that the list of financial members also follow suit. Regularly, new financial members emerge.

The Association has held several meetings via video conferencing since we started and had discussed various issues bothering on university proposed site, proposed academic curriculum, partnership as well as means of sourcing funds for the proposed Ogbomoso University. As a result of the efforts of members of the executives, some funds have been raised, though not substantial. Membership dues along with some special donations form part of our account balances. It is proposed that the Association will do fundraising in the year 2022.

In our bid to locate suitable land for the proposed university, the Association has obtained partial gifts of land from Aipo, a town in Orire Local Government area, and another land with academic development and facilities on it, via the efforts of Senator Adeseun, who would want to partner with the Association. This facility is in Surulere local government area. Other facilities made available to us as a partial donation to us are at Jabata, and Oolo.

The facilities at Iresa Apa, and Iresa Adu, being made available by Senator Adeseun have been inspected, and are found suitable to serve as a take-off site for the proposed institution. Plans are underway to work out the modalities of agreement.

Finally, the Association is presently making efforts to obtain additional funds to ensure it takes on a Consultant able to plan a strategy for it to start the process of obtaining the necessary funds to procure the NUC application form necessary for the approval process for the proposed university. Of recent, the Association has opened an office in Ogbomoso at the premises of SQI College, besides LAUTECH, opposite YOACO petrol Station, Ogbomoso, to publicise and make known the Association in Ogbomoso, and its surroundings.
