793Philosophy and Objectives
Philosophy
The law programme of the University is designed to make its graduates function optimally in every area of the legal profession in the 21st century. In the new millennium, a college of law should approach the study of law as a discipline of learning in tertiary institutions from the vintage of law as it functions in society, and not just as rules that have been set and must be applied against the backdrop of our colonial legal heritage which still persists. Osun State University recognizes the fact that the world is now a global village where imaginary political, cultural, social and physical boundaries of countries, nations and societies have disappeared. The law programme is to empower the 21st Century lawyer to meet complex challenges, through transnational studies and multi-lingual ability. Hence, the programme of the College is designed to make our law graduates practitioners and scholars with cutting-edge endowment and intellectual abilities.
Objectives
The objectives of the Law programme are to
(a) train lawyers who will use law as a tool for the resolution of various social, economic and political conflicts in society, and whose level of education has equipped properly to serve as advisers, solicitors or advocates to governments, business and other associations, individuals, families and other bodies, make a career in academics, or deploy their expertise to other productive endeavours ;
(b) deliver sound and forward looking instruction in legal education to create a crop of lawyers and legal scholars that will enhance national and global development, render sound and ethical legal services, and strike a balance between litigiousness and harmonious relationship though alternative dispute resolution;
(c) employ collegiality to educate lawyers who can resolve new issues, not just cite the past. Though most law courses today are still remarkably like they were more than a century ago, we shall take instruction in law beyond the study of cases by giving students a problem-based approach to studying law, employing simulations, role plays, real life clients so as to ensure that each lesson has outcomes that are subjected to formative assessment;
(d) make learning both pedagogically interactive and not impersonal as well as regularly subject the standards in the existing curriculum to relevance test so as to adapt the entire curriculum to changing circumstances;
(e) harness clinical skills to meet the peculiar needs of our host community for legal counselling services in the areas of itinerant trading, micro-financing, small and medium scale enterprises, agriculture, land use and customary tenancy and other legal relationships;
(f) deploy the impacted skills and methods as well as modern technologies, especially Information and Communication Technology, for the achievement of the objectives herein contained.

Recent Project:
Professor O. Clement Adebooye of the Department of Agronomy, Osun State University in collaboration with scientists from the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife(OAU); Cape Breton University, Nova Scotia, Canada (CBU) and University of Manitoba, Canada (UofM) won the IDRC research grant under the programme: Canadian International Food Security Research Fund ( CIFSRF). The project is titled : “Sustainable production and utilization of under-utilized Nigerian vegetables to enhance rural food security.” The project will run for three and a half years (42 months) March 2011- August 2014.
The grant is about three (3) million dollars ($3.0 milion). Out of this amount, UNIOSUN has a total budget of about $1.1 million. The project will carry out survey on indigenous vegetables of southwest Nigeria, conduct field research, determine nutraceutical properties of vegetables and vegetables products, carry out impact assessments, training of women farmers etc. On this project, ten (10) researchers from UNIOSUN will be trained at the CBU and UofM, Canada on agricultural research planning, implementation and reporting.
Osun State University is concerned about ensuring the quality of its academic programmes towards the production of highly skilled graduates who can contribute meaningfully to socio-economic development of the State and Nigeria and the global community. The Quality Assurance (QA) Unit conducts a host of activities that are designed to improve the quality of inputs, processes and outputs of the university system.
