“We want to encourage students to come from all over the country, North, South, East and West because the people of Iyin Ekiti are accomodating and peace loving, and will ensure a conducive atmosphere for all students, irrespective of their religious and tribal affinity”, he said.

He expressed profound happiness on the new University, saying, ‘this is one of the best moments ever in our community with the joy resonating among indigenes all over the world’.

Olawumi in a statement affirmed that the University will further put Iyin Ekiti on the global map, building on the developmental achievements recorded by notable past leaders including the late General Adeyinka Adebayo, and the first civilian governor of Ekiti State, Otunba Niyi Adebayo.

He emphasised the importance of the University to the community.

“it will open the community up to global attention and provide direct and indirect jobs for many of the teeming youths within the neighbouring communities and even across the state. There is no doubt that the University will further promote socio-economic growth and galvanise infrastructure development of the state”, he emphasized.

Olawumi seized the opportunity to thank former Governor Kayode Fayemi and the incumbent Governor Biodun Oyebanji and all other great Ekiti leaders who have in the past, contributed to the development of the town.

The Ex-NYSC DG said that they laid the foundation for the establishment of the University.

He singled out the Senate Majority Leader, Distinguished Senator Opeyemi Bamidele who he described as the ‘Okan L’omo of Ekiti Land for working assiduously, deploying all his diplomatic and God given wisdom to sponsor the Bill in the Senate chambers, facilitated its passage in both chambers and leading to the final assent by Mr President.

Olawumi was full of praises for the Oluyin of Iyin Ekiti, Oba Ajakaiye, whose tenure has continued to witness peace and giant developmental strides in the town.

The retired General, who is the Jagunmolu of Iyin Ekiti, seized the opportunity to call on all sons and daughters of the town, especially those in diaspora to join efforts in supporting the government as the school prepares to take off.

On his path, General Olawumi promised to rally round key stakeholders in the community on the issue of security.
