The Osun State University economic scholars were recently sponsored by the university to attend the 60th annual conference of the Nigerian Economic Society (NES) at the Nigerian Air Force Conference Centre, Kado, Abuja between 16th and 18th September, 2019 to network, research and deliberate on the Economic Policies and Quality of Life in Africa and other issues affecting the members of the professional body, NES.

The Conference which started on Monday 16th September 2019 with the opening ceremony had in attendance representatives from national and international institutions like the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), African Economic Research Consortium (AERC) among others. In the afternoon of that 16th, the first plenary session was held. The sub-theme of this session was Conceptual and Structural Issues in Quality of Life. This session was chaired by Prof. Sam Olofin.
On Tuesday the 17th, the first policy round table and second preliminary session was held and it was titled “Leveraging Role of the Public Sector in Enhancing Quality of Life in Africa” and “Opportunities and Challenges of Enhancing Quality of Life in Africa” This session was chaired by Prof. (sir) Ibi Ajayi, a fellow of NES. Some papers presented under this session were Place of Happiness and Subjective Indicators of Wellbeing in Quality of Life Issues by Prof Peter Olapegba. And Environmental Issues, Access to Water and Quality of Life in Nigeria by Prof C.O. Orubu. Prof Olapegba mentioned that Quality of life is a concept that cut across different fields like Sociology, Medicine, Psychology and Economics. He also maintained that happiness is very important as part of quality of life. A rich person may not be experiencing a good quality of life especially if he is not happy. He stated that contentment is one of the indicators to having a good quality life.

The second policy round table was held with the focus on “Leveraging Role of the Private Sector in Enhancing Quality in Life in Africa” followed by the first and second concurrent sessions where different papers were presented. The papers were presented under the following sub-themes; Economic Policies and Poverty in African Countries, Economic Policies and Educational Outcomes in Africa, Economic Policies and the Quality of Health Care and Nutrition, Economic Policies and Quality of Road Infrastructure in African Countries.

Among the issues deliberated on was the arising confusion of some people calling themselves chattered Economist, the deliberation which was chaired by the NES president now decree that NES is the only professional body for Economist and that there is nothing like Chartered Economist. Also, that there would be the induction of graduating students of Economics into NES and that professionals should encourage every staff in the Department of Economics to become a member of NES.

In keeping to the promise of creating a unique institution that is committed to the pursuit of academic innovation, skill-based training and a tradition of excellence in Teaching, Research and Community service, UNIOSUN on the 25th of September host the flag off ceremony of the three months intensive YESSO training organized by the World Bank in collaboration with the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) to confront and combat the alarming problem of unemployment and poverty among youth and vulnerable individuals in the country.

The opening/flag off ceremony which took place at the Olagunsoye Oyinlola auditorium of the Osun State University had in attendance, the Governor of the State of Osun and the visitor to the University, Mr. Gboyega Oyetola who was represented by Professor Olalekan Yinusa, a commissioner designate and the supervisor for youth and empowerment; the vice chancellor of the university, Professor Labode Popoola, represented by Professor Akinola and other dignitaries from all works of life.

The training programme which is scheduled to run in three phases: Life skills training, focus skill training and entrepreneurship training had over five hundred youths in attendance and they were all orientated and set to be empowered through the training.
It will be recalled that the management of the university is already set to empower the Alumni of the university who has a bankable proposal with a tangible amount of fund that he/she can use in starting a business.

Osun State University’s college of health sciences on Thursday August 8, 2019 held the 2019 annual college lecture with the theme “Collaborative research; a tool in attaining the Sustainable Development Goals in resource constrained settings” at the Olagunsoye Oyinlola Auditorium to examine how academic staff can engage in collaborative research as a meaningful tool in the pursuit of the attainment of the SDGs.

The lecture which was delivered by Professor Ebenezer O Farombi, a Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Toxicology, based at the University of Ibadan had in attendance all the principal officers of the university, provosts, professors, lecturers and students of the university.
A brief charge was given by the Chairman, Planning Committee, Dr A.G. Omisore followed by a welcome address by the Provost. Dr. O. Omobuwa who also read the impressive citation of the guest lecturer. A peep into the citation showed that back in 2005, he was cited and listed among top ten productive researchers in University of Ibadan who contributed research articles within a ten year frame and ten years later, following the inaugural February 2015 Webometric Ranking of Nigerian scientists, he was Top-rated (Ranked Number 1 Nigerian Scientist) according to google scholar citations with nearly ten thousand citations. Indeed, four of his former postgraduate students are now full Professors in various Universities in the country. The lecture proper was instructive and clearly delivered with an unusual level of expertise.

The Guest Lecturer stated that a major challenge with African researchers is that researchers get into international collaborations as subordinates and they remain in that same position instead of moving up on the rungs of the ladder by making impactful and undeniable contributions. He stressed further that “Research collaboration” is key to meeting SDGs and emphasized the role of Universities. He particularly focused on how African universities can contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals through capacity building, collaboration, and engagement with government and industry. He further opined that Africa lacks university-based research which is critical in achieving sustainable development and delivering on the SDGs. Thereafter he posited that Research collaboration is key to meeting SDGs-role of Universities and that Universities in general and UNIOSUN in particular should explore collaborative research at all levels. He challenged African universities to go beyond being undergraduate training institutions as this is a myopic/ self-limiting dream that will take us nowhere.

Furthermore he stated that real research, especially applied research is not part of their programmes and that the research output in Africa is abysmal with African research accounting for only 1% of global output, with most of it coming out of South Africa where it was concentrated in certain universities. Funding of research was another problem with the proportion of gross domestic product (GDP) going towards research in nine African countries averaging 0.5%.

He concluded that Universities could help to contribute to achieving the SDGs through capacity building, collaboration, and greater engagement with government and industry.
“To attain the SDGs-Role of Universities, Universities must be Research informed, Research based, Research active, Research led and driven, and Research intensive” Farombi added.

In closing, the Dipo Fasina prize for the overall graduating student (2017/2018 session) was won by Miss Yetunde Akinlaja of Physiology Department (CGPA 4.81) and the award was presented by the representative of the Vice Chancellor, Professor Anthony Kola-Olusanya.

The Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo on Saturday, 21st September, lauds the management of Osun State University for maintaining high academic standards despite the lean resources available.
The Vice President made the remark while delivering the 8th convocation lecture titled “Six decades of Chequered Nationhood: Nigeria still holds the key to Africa’s development”.

“Your resilience and productivity is a challenge to all tertiary institutions in the country. I hereby congratulate the graduands, the graduating class of 2019, Also the parents, guardians, friends and family of the graduands, I say congratulations and I pray that the joy you have today in the success of these graduands will multiply as they succeed in the coming years.”
The executive Governor of the state of Osun and a Visitor to the University, Mr. Gboyega Oyetola implored the graduating students to be good ambassadors of the university and the nation, urging them to use their acquired knowledge to transform Nigeria.

Also speaking, the Pro-chancellor and chairman, governing council of Osun State University, Osogbo, Mallam Yusuf Ali said the university would continue to develop graduands that would evolve ideas and initiatives that would reposition the country for economic development.
Mallam Yusuf called on government to continue to support the university in the areas of research and innovation to position the University for International rating.
Prof. Labode Popoola, the Vice-Chancellor of the University, said 49 students made first class, 670 made second class upper, 892 students made second class lower, 194 had third class while nine (9) finished with pass degree.

Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, Mr. Wale Babalakin and Mrs. Nike Okundaye were conferred with honorary doctorate degrees of the university.

Provost of the College of Education, Ipetu-Ijesha campus of Osun State University, Prof. Ayobami Hammed was recently conferred with a Fellowship of the Counselling Association of Nigeria (CASSON). The award was received at the 44th Annual International Conference of the Association which held at the Abuja Campus of the University of Port-Harcourt, Port-Harcourt on the 20th of August 2019.

Such facilities include the Result Checker that is now online, Omnibus Result CD, Online Verification of Candidates among others.

The registrar, Mr. Gafar Shittu also join the Vice-chancellor in welcoming the new controller to the state and further advised the body to always protect the integrity of all WAEC’s processes. “As you may be aware that there are lots of people that are working round the clock online to always sabotage new initiatives, and to prevent the case of online hacking of the process of building academic excellence, WAEC should work more on the new processes of checking and releasing students’ results online.”
While rounding up, the Vice-chancellor appreciates the new management of WAEC in Osun for the visit and promise them that the Osun State University is ready to work with the new management.

The six student leaders who were selected from each of the campuses of the university were very excited about the trip. The six (6) the students leaders are Kuye Ramota (Female, Osogbo), Adewusi Bukola (Female, Ejigbo) and Afolabi Omowunmi (Female, Ipetu – Ijesa), Agunbiade Michael (Male, Ifetedo), Akinade Nurudeen (Male, Okuku) and Omotoso Adeoye (Male, Ikire). As requested by the organizers, the students were accompanied by the Acting Dean Students Affairs Unit, Dr. Abiona Oluseye.

The peace conference themed Students Leaders and the Culture of Peace was aimed at training students leaders on how to lead and avoid conflict or protest during their regimes while the outcome of the conference was a better understanding of leadership with respect to peace and service without conflicts.

The conference had in attendance, students from various universities within and outside Ghana with presentations from students on Africa's journey to peace: The role of student leadership, Enhancing conflict resolution process: The case of Osun State University, The role of student's leaders in ensuring campus peace, How to run an ethical election, and Maximizing accountability in student governance.
After all the presentations and discussions, resolutions were documented and participants were encouraged to propagate the resolutions in their various campuses. The conference was capped with a tourist trip for the students around Accra and ended up on a beach.

According to one of the students, Kuye Ramota “my attendance at this conference has really opened my mind to so many issues about the administrative processes in the University and which has changed my perception about how and when reasonable agitations can be made without disrupting the peace in University campuses”.
