The institution’s 9th convocation ceremony, held on Saturday, also saw 177 students bagging First Class degrees.
The Chairman of the Governing Council and Pro-Chancellor of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, said the institution is one of the fastest-growing in the country.
He acknowledged the immense support that FUOYE continues to enjoy from the President Bola Tinubu administration.
According to him, “This university is grateful to you, Mr. President, as you have contributed immensely to our development in human and material resources.”
“While thanking Mr. President, our visitor, for his immense support so far, we look forward to even more support to enable us to achieve our mission and vision as the fastest-growing university in Nigeria,” he added.
The Vice-Chancellor of FUOYE, Professor Abayomi Fasina, said the university takes immense pride in prioritizing the delivery of high-quality academic programs that meet and exceed regulatory standards.
He said: “Over the past four years, FUOYE has welcomed the National Universities Commission (NUC) for resource verification and accreditation exercises, alongside professional bodies such as the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN), the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria, the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), and the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN).”
These achievements, Fasina added, are the reasons why admission slots into the university were oversubscribed by more than 100 percent in the last academic year.
He added that it was gratifying to note that FUOYE has consistently secured accreditation for its programs.
The new programs are: Medicine and Surgery, Data Science and Analytics, Agricultural Business Management, Agricultural Economics and Farm Management, and Agricultural Extension and Rural Development.
Others are advanced business programs such as MBA, DBA, MFA, DFA, PDFM, M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Business Administration, M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Public Administration and Finance, MPA, and DPA.
