“ As the Federal Ministry of Education, we want to assure that we are in full compliance of President Tinubu’s eight-point agenda,” he said.
The minister said that the government would ensure that its certificate is one to be proud of and reckoned with.

“ This campus is part of a sustained effort to guarantee education access at all levels and for all the people of Surulere and, indeed, people of Lagos State.
“ This state is the Centre of Excellence; we must try to be excellent in all things, but more importantly, we must ensure that the generations coming after us have the training and the capacity to sustain excellence and take it to greater heights than we can even imagine.
“ If we can ensure access to quality healthcare for our people and ensure that everybody who desires a good education gets it, this nation will be unbeatable in every sphere.
“ These two objectives, ensuring access to world-class education and quality healthcare for all our nation’s people, are at the heart of the Renewed Hope agenda of President Tinubu’s administration,” he added.
Gbajabiamila said that the NOUN Surulere would offer undergraduate and postgraduate courses in fields accredited by the National Universities Commission.
