The Vice Chancellor of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko (AAUA), Prof. Tomola Obamuyi, has commended the Ondo State Governor and Visitor to the institution, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, for his financial interventions towards resolving outstanding salary obligations and implementing agreements reached between the Federal Government and university unions.

Obamuyi, in a statement of appreciation released on Sunday, September 27, 2026, described the governor’s interventions as consistent and timely, saying they would help stabilise academic activities in the university.

According to the Vice Chancellor, Aiyedatiwa recently approved over N1 billion to enable the university settle outstanding May and June salaries.

He added that the governor had also approved funds for the commencement of payment of the salary increment arising from agreements reached between the Federal Government and university unions.

“That means that the CATTA/CONTTA agreements would henceforth be paid without hassles, and the academic calendar would henceforth be stable to enable our students to graduate as and when due,” Obamuyi said.

The Vice Chancellor described the financial interventions as unprecedented in the history of the institution and urged stakeholders in the education sector to acknowledge the governor’s support.

“These consistent and timely financial interventions are unprecedented in the annals of Adekunle Ajasin University and should be commended by all lovers of education in the state and beyond,” he said.

Obamuyi expressed the university’s appreciation to the governor, assuring him that the management would remain committed to the vision and mission of the institution.

He said the university would reciprocate the support by promoting research capable of impacting society positively and ensuring that its graduates could compete favourably with their peers globally.

The statement said the release of funds and commencement of the implementation of the CATTA/CONTTA agreements were expected to facilitate the resumption of normal academic and other programmes at the university soon.
