Academic and other activities have resumed at Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko (AAUA), following the suspension of the industrial action by university unions.

The Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Tomola Obamuyi, commended the Visitor to the institution and Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, for meeting the financial and other needs of the university, which he said contributed to the restoration of normalcy on campus.

Obamuyi recalled that the state government provided over N1 billion as a special bailout to offset salary arrears, while also releasing funds needed for the implementation of agreements reached between the Federal Government and university unions.

Speaking in his office on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, the Vice Chancellor expressed satisfaction with the resumption of activities, saying the governor had responded to the demands of the unions and helped restore normalcy to the institution.

He said the development demonstrated the importance the governor attached to education and human development, as well as the need to secure the future of youths in the state and generations to come.

The Vice Chancellor said the resolution of the union agitations would enable the university to refocus on its core mandates of manpower development, research and the production of globally competitive graduates.

A tour of the university campus showed students returning to the institution and classrooms, while academic and non-teaching staff were also present to attend to them.

A circular signed by the Registrar, Dr Olubunmi Babalola, informed students of the suspension of the industrial action and announced the commencement of the second semester examinations on October 19.
