During the unveiling ceremony at the institution’s temporary campus on Old Ife Road, Ibadan, Adejumo promised to build on the culture of academic excellence and spiritual regeneration of students and staff during his tenure.

In his speech he said “With profound gratitude to God and a deep sense of responsibility, I stand before you today as your new vice-chancellor. It is an honour to become a part of this esteemed community for academic excellence, character development and the pursuit of knowledge.

“I am highly committed to building upon the foundation laid by the Chancellor, BOT, Governing Council and my outgoing VC – my predecessor and his management team.

“Our university, anchored in faith and scholarship, holds the promise of moulding individuals, not only academically but also spiritually. I am committed to fostering an environment that encourages the integration of knowledge and faith, nurturing minds and souls alike. Together, we will foster an environment that encourages learning, critical thinking and holistic development.”
