Wesley University Commissions Donor-Funded Classroom Block by Modupe Oluwole

Wesley University has commissioned a new classroom block donated by Modupe Oluwole, marking a significant addition to the institution’s academic infrastructure.

The commissioning ceremony began with a special service at the university’s Ecumenical Centre, attended by members of the academic community, clergy, and invited guests. The event proceeded to the facility site, where the building was formally dedicated with prayers for its use and long-term impact on teaching and learning.

In his address, the Vice-Chancellor, Samuel Sunday Obeka, underscored the value of philanthropic investment in education, describing the donation as a strategic contribution to institutional growth. Speaking on the theme “The Reward of Building in the House of the Lord,” he highlighted the importance of giving towards societal and spiritual development, noting that such acts create enduring value for both individuals and communities.

He commended Oluwole for her generosity and prayed for continued prosperity and impact, stating that her contribution would benefit future generations of students.

The event attracted prominent figures from Ondo Kingdom, including Stephen Oni, Hakeem Oyeneyin, and Anike Adesanoye, whose presence underscored the significance of the occasion.

Family members of the donor were also in attendance, celebrating the milestone and reinforcing the personal commitment behind the project.

As part of the activities, a novelty football match was organised at the university field in honour of the donor, adding a recreational dimension to the ceremony and drawing participation from students and staff.

The commissioning highlights the growing role of private contributions in strengthening educational institutions, particularly in expanding infrastructure and enhancing the learning environment.
