Soremekun
Professor Kayode Soremekun, outgoing Vice-Chancellor of Federal University, Oye Ekiti (FUOYE), in this interview with IYABO LAWAL speaks on the challenges of new universities, why the government must improve on funding to these institutions, and the need for the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to focus on its core demand for improved infrastructure and welfare of members.
By February 2021, you will bow out as Vice-Chancellor of Federal University, Oye Ekiti. How far have you come?
I can say we have cause to thank God for the university in the sense that a lot has been achieved at various levels; we have been able to take the university very far in terms of our stated objectives, for instance, in trying to ensure access of a high-quality profile to thousands of Nigerian students.
