PRESS RELEASE:
UNILORIN VC: MURIC CONGRATULATES EGBEWOLE
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has congratulated
Professor Wahab Egbewole for emerging the 12th Vice Chancellor of
the University of Ilorin.
MURIC’s congratulatory message was signed by the
director of the organisation, Professor Ishaq Akintola, on Saturday, 10th
September, 2022.
It reads:
“A new vice chancellor has been announced at
the University of Ilorin. He is Professor Wahab Olasupo Egbewole. He will succeed
Professor Sulyman AbdulKareem Age whose five-year tenure will end 15th
October, 2022.
“Egbewole beat 29 contestants out of whom 13 were
shortlisted in the race for the highly coveted office of the prestigious tertiary
institution in a keenly contested exercise.
“A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Egbewole
has spent 25 years in the university. He is a legal luminary with a PhD in law
and jurisprudence. He is therefore most eminently qualified for the post of
vice chancellor.
“We rejoice with professor
Wahab Egbewole on this lofty appointment. For somebody who is very hardworking,
an unparalleled academic and a seasoned administrator, it is a well-deserved
position. As a quiet humanist and unsung philanthropist, both the students and
staff of the university are set for pleasant surprises in welfare matters. The
University of Ilorin has caught a big fish.
“MURIC commends the Pro-Chancellor and
Chairman of the governing council of the University of Ilorin as well as
members of the governing council for employing objectivity and following due
process in their search for a new vice chancellor. It was their adherence to high
level standards and global best practices which eventually produced the great
asset which Professor Egbewole represents.
“We have no scintilla of doubt that Professor
Egbewole will take the University of Ilorin to greater heights. We advise the new
vice chancellor to keep his eyes on the ball, maintain his well-known stand on
principles and remain faithful to his flair for striving for excellence.”

Akintola,
Director,
