The immediate past Acting Vice-Chancellor of Osun State University, Professor Oguntola Jelil Alamu delivered another inaugural lecture of the institution on 21st December, 2016 at the Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola auditorium on the main campus, Osogbo.

Dear friends, colleagues and students,

The year 2016 can best be described as a coat of many colours. The global economic recession hit our country very hard, because we were, as usual, ill-prepared due to our past profligacy. However, it has also offered us an opportunity to think and rethink how best to proceed in our quest for development.

The Vice Chancellor, Osun State University, Professor Labode Popoola in his quest to achieve his mission and vision to improve the overall teaching and research in the University in line with international best practices led his team to the Medical Research Council Unit, The Gambia and University of The Gambia to discuss the prospects of partnership with the two Institutions in key research areas that would benefit UNIOSUN immensely.

The West African Research and Innovation Management Association (WARIMA) in collaboration with the Medical Research Council Unit, The Gambia organized the 10th Annual Conference and Workshops between11th -16th December, 2016 in Banjul, Gambia.
