The Vice-Chancellor of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Prof. Olufemi Peters, has reaffirmed the university’s dedication to delivering education to every Nigerian, regardless of location, background, or circumstances.
Prof. Peters made the remarks during the commissioning of the Ilupeju-Ekiti Special Study Centre in Ekiti State on Saturday, October 25, 2025. Represented at the event by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Administration, Prof. Shehu Usman Adamu, he described the inauguration as a significant step toward expanding access to quality education.
“Today is not merely about cutting a ribbon; it is about expanding the frontiers of access to quality education, rekindling hope, and transforming one man’s vision and generosity into a legacy for generations to come,” Prof. Peters stated.
He emphasized that “every great institution grows not only through government support but also through the vision, goodwill, and sacrifice of individuals who believe in the transformative power of education.”
Prof. Peters also acknowledged the contributions of Arch. Sir Asiwaju Dipo Ajayi, a native of Ilepeju-Ekiti, who facilitated the development of the study centre. He described Ajayi as “a true Nigerian patriot whose commitment to the upliftment of his community has made this achievement possible.”
The commissioning marks another milestone in NOUN’s efforts to bring flexible, quality education closer to Nigerians across the country.
