University Of Ibadan Ibadan At 69. ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE In The Last One Year by Nltaliban(m): 3:49pm On Nov 17, 2017 |
The University of Ibadan has continued to promote academic excellence in teaching and learning. Our academic staff continue to make giant strides all over the world as evident in the many competitive grants and fellowships that they won since my last address to convocation. Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, since the inauguration of the UI Research Foundation in 2013, the University had funded inter-disciplinary studies through the Foundation that have good potentials to impact on our immediate society under the chairmanship of Rt. Hon. Dr. Chevalier U.J. Itsueli, KSG, OON and with Professor Ayoade M. J. Oduola as Director, and members drawn from a broad spectrum of society. The Foundation continues, as envisaged at inception, to make notable progress in securing contributions of Stakeholders to strengthen the research platform in UI. Moreover, the registration of the Foundation with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) of Nigeria in June, 2016 as a semi-autonomous unit to support research in UI has been valuable in attracting support and collaborations from the private sector and international community. The Key achievements of the Foundation in 2017 include: Continuing funding, support and servicing of a N49million research portfolio of 7 collaborative research grants. ➢ Award of a N7.5 million Research career Development grant to Dr. A.B. Ayinmode of the Department of Vet. Microbiology and Parasitology with a focus on developing Novel Genotyping tool for tracking infectious sources for cryposporium species to HIV infected individuals and infants. ➢ The Foundation was awarded a grant by the Rockefeller Foundation to convene an International Conference titled: ‘From Pandemic to Preparedness: Building Robust Public Health Capacity in Nigeria’. The Conference was held from 8 to 12 May, 2017 at the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Centre, Italy. There has been a sustained creation of new initiatives including the launching of a Think Tank for Translating Research to Innovation, Strategies and Evidence for Policies in Nigeria. As part of efforts to maintain an active academic environment, 27 inaugural lectures have been delivered for this session, bringing the total number of Inaugural Lectures in the university to 426. In addition, a University Lecture has been presented as well as 10 other lectures including Matriculation Lecture, Alumni Lectures and Postgraduate School Discourses.
