Vice Chancellor, Ondo State University of Science and Technology (OSUSTECH), Okitipupa, and former Vice Chancellor of University of Lagos (UNILAG), Prof. Tolu Odugbemi, is bowing out of office soon. The former two-term provost of College of Medicine, UNILAG, who is also an honourary degree awardee of the University of Sheffield, United Kingdom and a distinguished fellow, National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria (DFMC), is departing after successfully steering OSUSTECH in the last five years. In a chat with journalists, the university administrator spoke on some innovations he brought to bear in the school, as well as pertinent issues affecting science and technology education in the country. He also spoke on the challenges of administering a new university. UJUNWA ATUEYI was there. Excerpts
What are the challenges of running a new and growing university of science and technology in a developing nation?
The task of starting off, and running a new university, especially in a developing nation like Nigeria has been quite challenging and enormous. I must say, however, that the challenges have been quite surmountable.
