FUOYE Unveils 25-Year Plan to Become Digital, Entrepreneurial, Globally Competitive

The Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), Ekiti State, has announced a long-term strategic plan to transform the institution into a digitally driven, entrepreneurially focused and globally connected university over the next 25 years.

The university also disclosed plans to strengthen its financial sustainability through diversified revenue streams, including endowments, alumni contributions, public–private partnerships, and competitive research grants.

In a statement issued on Sunday in Ado-Ekiti, the Public Relations Officer of the university, Mr. Foluso Ogunmodede, said the resolutions were reached at a two-day Governing Council–Management Strategic Retreat held in Lagos.

According to the statement, the retreat was themed “FUOYE Beyond Today: Strategic Alignment, Governance, Partnerships and Financial Sustainability for the Next 25 Years (2025–2050).” It brought together members of the Governing Council and top management to align on the university’s long-term direction.

Ogunmodede noted that both the Council and Management jointly committed to working collaboratively to reposition FUOYE as a leading global institution by 2050.

“The council and management resolved to work collaboratively to ensure that by 2050, FUOYE will stand among the world’s leading universities—digitally empowered, financially sustainable, ethically grounded and socially responsive,” he said.

He added that the university would deliberately pursue a transition toward digital innovation, entrepreneurship, and global engagement, in line with the vision outlined in its newly articulated strategic plan.

The retreat, according to the university, marks a critical step in aligning governance, partnerships, and financial strategy to support FUOYE’s long-term institutional growth and relevance in the global higher education landscape.
