The Governor, who was represented by Commissioner for Education, Hon. Dipo Eluwole, said: “The establishment of this university here in Modakeke is a milestone achievement, which aligns with our drive to boost the educational sector. I charge you to make sure that this institution is one of the best universities in Nigeria both in academic and culture.”

Founder of the institution, Mr. Olusola Amusan, highlighted the needs for Public-Private Partnership in promotion tertiary education and national development.

He called Public private partnerships in developing education sector, saying “There are education endowment funds from the federal government and in the area of loans, specifically, we believe that to be able to get cutting-edge education our government must collaborate with private bodies to advance education.

“We aim to support the country through this institution and also to boost the economy of Osun State especially Modakeke. This institution if government can partner with us, it will further enable our youths to access education in area of AI that we will be providing here.”

Also, institution’s the Chairman Planning Committee, Barrister Abimbola Amusan, said Curators University will be a global academic and innovation hub that will empower youth, create jobs, spark economic growth for generations to come.”

A good step, but it's government government owned institution, no quality education.

They're just getting thousands of students for their subsidized school fees not for quality

I don't know why Nigerians have problems with comprehension.
Just because you have hatred for someone, anything about the person must be in the negative.
The institution doesn't belong to the state. It's a private university.
Please always read and understand before making comments.
Comments are revealers.

Hatred is a mental problem.

Do well to seek help before it corrupts your whole being.

Pessimist.

If Adeleke wants to build a whole uni for AI, let's see the programs on offer in that university and a strategy to staff them effectively. Will the university curriculum come from NUC? If not from where?


This is overdo in my opinion. AI shouldn't need a whole school but a department under science and technology faculty at most.
Re: Adeleke Flags Off Africa’s First Artificial Intelligence University In Osun by Image123(m): 9:31am On Aug 16, 2025
What a total kasongo. You don't just flag off things for flag off sake. Where are the basics? Are you able to provide basic quality education in your state yet? Is there water, electricity, good internet, normal programming, cyber security, etc? No baby steps taken, just dance around and flag off white elephant projects. Do you have capacity and can you pay and attract capable staff for AI? Have you even solved ordinary food or agriculture in your state? Or you think AI is just having chatgpt on tabs?

Human intelligence that we have,we have not even tapped 1% of it,it is artificial intelligence we want to exploit…AI Dey learn work for where our average Nigerian intelligence is talking.tell a robot to go and deliver a package to a Nigeria,the person will know how to programme the robot to divert subsequent deliveries to him alone.
