Glamtush reports that the alumni association of Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo State, has donated a Sienna bus worth millions to its alma mater to ease the movement and activities of principal officers in the institution.

This is contained in a joint statement E-signed by Busoye Ogunlade and Yemisi Peters, the National President and National Secretary of ACU Alumni,  respectively.

This online news platform understands that the association made the donation on Wednesday, during the 16th convocation ceremonies and Alumni Lecture that was held at the Folorunsho Alakija Law Faculty of the University.

The activities were lined up to celebrate the university’s academic achievements and the strides made in nurturing excellence among its students.

According to the President of the alumni association, Mr. Busoye Ogunlade, they have been supporting the university with various donations.

The alumni executives also awarded some selected staff of the institution for their long-serving, dedication to the University.

Ogunlade recalled that the executives, under his leadership, purchased a set of computers for the Transcripts department, to ease collection of transcripts for old students, within and outside the country.

Ogunlade, who also chairs the Oyo State Road Maintenance Agency (OYSROMA), promised that the association would continue to make contributions to the development of the university.

He said the alumni website, to be launched in December 2024, will avail old students, both at home and in the diaspora, the opportunity to bond, towards achieving a greater goal as a body.

While handing over the bus to the Vice-chancellor, Ogunlade said that the school authorities alone could not provide all the needs of the institution, urging all old students to endeavour to contribute to the development of their alma mater.

He noted that “to meet the increasing demand for quality education, the university urgently requires the support of its old students, to enhance the infrastructure on its campuses.”

Ogunlade prayed that the university keeps expanding in larger strides as well as every graduate of the School.

Responding, the vice-chancellor of Ajayi Crowther University, Professor Timothy Adebayo, expressed gratitude to the Ajayi Crowther University Alumni for its contribution to the university’s development.

Adebayo affirmed that the association has been a worthy partner in progress since he assumed office nearly a few years ago.

He equally recalled that the association has made several donations towards the university.

In the vice-chancellor’s words, “We are grateful to the university’s alumni for purchasing this bus. It is timely and we appreciate it.”

While explaining the numerous feats of the university in the last year, the VC said the institution has signed many pacts with various bodies and institutions which has aided academic developments, stability, accreditation, and expansion of frontiers.

The association delegation included other members of the executive, including the National Secretary, Yemisi Peters, among others.
