University of Ibadan Receives The Morayo Show Team

The University of Ibadan received the team of The Morayo Show on a courtesy visit, led by the visionary behind the show, Mrs. Morayo Afolabi-Brown.

Receiving the team on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic), Prof. Juwon Arotiba, expressed delight at hosting them, commending the vision behind the show. He noted that The Morayo Show has continued to highlight positive stories about the nation, which could contribute to changing perceptions about Nigeria and positively influence Nigerian youths.

He expressed the University's willingness to explore future partnerships with The Morayo Show, particularly in areas that would promote excellence in teaching and learning, as well as community engagement.

Speaking during the visit, the founder and host, Mrs. Afolabi-Brown, said she had spent more than 20 years in the media, with experience in public relations and broadcasting. She explained that she left TVC after 12 years as host of "Your View" to establish The Morayo Show.

Mrs. Afolabi-Brown said the programme, which commenced in 2026, airs live on YouTube from Monday to Thursday and is broadcast on eight television stations across Nigeria.

According to her, the show was created to provide a platform that combines music, laughter, joy, lessons and real-life stories while highlighting positive and inspiring experiences. She explained that the programme was designed to move beyond conversations that focus mainly on societal problems by creating opportunities to celebrate individuals, share their experiences and inspire young people.

She stated that the visit to the University was part of a nationwide tour embarked upon following the success of the programme, adding that Ibadan was its first stop. She said the team considered it important to visit the University of Ibadan given the institution's pedigree as the "first and the best" university in Nigeria.

The courtesy visit was followed immediately by an interactive session with students.
