Sometime this year, I visited my almamater and I was impressed to see that the central campus community is still very well managed. It reinforces the fact that the OAU has the most beautiful estate in Nigeria alongside it's academic prowess. I just hope the recurring strike issues that we continue to hear on media is permanently tackled. This way, OAU would by far be the best University in the country.

Wow! More please..

No doubt OAU, Ife is an architectural master piece coupled with very RIGOROUS academic system. This fact is stated on their prospectus.

If you are not well above average and sure of yourself don't try Ife.

Have you come across a true Ife graduate under performs at any task. It will be very hard to find.

The only university named Great Ife by another university (UI).

When the late great sage (only Nigerian, dead or a life with that appellation) Awolowo and Co mooted idea the idea of university of Ife in the sixties it was to be a university for the gifted. That's why best egg heads were assembled to kick start it. World renowned professors Hezekiah Oluwasanmi, Ajose, Aluko, Aboyade kicked started the great citadel of learning. Wole Soyinka joined later and bagged his professorship and nobel lauret in 1986 as head of dramatic arts. What about Ola Rotimi, Osofisan, to mention just but a few.

If not for too much students/staff activism, no university in Nigeria would have competed with Ife in any objective international ranking.

University of Ife was built and owned by the Western states but later transformed to FG school. That was when the decline started because of lack of proper funding.

People should stop castigating our universities for ranking low world wide when there is little or no money to run them. Harvard university endowment fund alone is in tens of billions of dollars and this is useful in attracting the best brains in the workd to the institution. Number of Nobel Lauret in a university is an important part of
what they use to rank. Harvard has the highest in this regard.

Great Ife!

GREAT IFE!!!!

noh bad

Africa's most beautiful campus

OAU make sense! No doubt!

Calling animals with horns, snails too dey show face. OAU only compares with the great and not the likes of LAUTECH. You can only compare LAUTECH with UNIOSUN, OOU, UNAD etc.

Them try. AN ABU GRADUATE IS AHEAD OF YOU NATURALLY. Proudly Abusite

be deceiving yourself without proper analysis and investigation, how many universities have you been to in Nigeria let alone west Africa, or is it not OAU that was in the news of recent having pitiable toilets, we need to stop this unnecessary hype, so much work are needed to do on Nigerian universities.

Op said the central campus, not hostel area. I think OAU hostels need to be rehabilitated though.

Besides, I wonder why school structure should be something to boast of "ALL
THE TIME" ,there could have been "better" things to show and tell the world
(Inventions from students,notably influential alumni and the likes)about a
university...An alumnus for that matter!
The world has seen enough pictures of Great Ife please!

Oau and strike...
