The license was received by the Deputy Governor of Kwara State, Kayode Afolabi on behalf of the Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
The formal presentation of the letter of recognition for the new University, to the Governor was done after the delegation submitted the three required strategic documents for establishment of a new University, including the law establishing the institution, which was passed by the Kwara State House of Assembly.
Other documents presented by the Kwara government are the Academic Brief and Physical Master Plan.
Maiyaki tasked the Governor on ensuring sustainable funding of the new University and other state-owned tertiary institutions, noting that funding has remained a major issue in university education in Nigeria.
He said: “Funding is not negotiable. The Governor must give the universities political support. Let the Universities stand the test of time by giving them high level support.”
The governor said he was delighted with the recognition of the University, which was established to expand access to quality University education in the state.
AbdulRazaq expressed commitment of the government to improved funding of tertiary institutions in the state.
He assured that his administration would give priority to education at all levels.
According to him, the University has had a lot of infrastructure already on ground since it was upgraded from a College of Education to University status.
