1.1 VICE-CHANCELLOR’S REMARKS

Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife is no doubt a University of high repute in Nigeria and a foremost university in the continent of Africa. The University has not faltered in its vision of being a technological flagship of the West African sub-region as evidenced by its application of modern technology to fulfil its tripartite mandate of teaching, research and community service.

The year 2017 witnessed significant improvement in infrastructural, equipment and personnel development, which are vital to achieving excellence in research and teaching. This edition contains information on notable activities in the University in the year under review. I hold the belief that members of staff, students, and the general public will find it inspiring and also a worthy repository.

At this juncture, I commend our competent and dedicated staff and students for the various roles they have played in sustaining the vision of our founding fathers.

Prof. E.O. Ogunbodede Vice-Chancellor, Obafemi Awolowo University.

1.2 UNIVERSITY LOGO

University Motto: For Learning and Culture

Obafemi Awolowo University is a first generation University in Nigeria that has contributed immensely to national development. The University has a good record and had produced many graduates recognised within the nation and the rest of the world. It was set up based among other reasons on people‟s attachment to Ile-Ife - a centre of an ancient civilisation famed for excellence in plastic arts and indigenous technology. Its rise is traceable to the wish and aspiration of its founding fathers to establish a citadel of excellence.

The logo of the University comprises an open book surmounting an Ife bronze head with ornamental headgear and rays of light flashing from the book, all contained within a shield below which is the University Motto: “For Learning and Culture”. On the outer lower part of the shield, the motto is inside a scroll or written in gothic characters without a scroll. The open book, a universal symbol, represents teaching, research and the dissemination of knowledge. The bronze portrait head represents indigenous creative and technical skills characteristic of ancient African civilisation of which Ife is a shinning example. The lines radiating from the open book and portrait head, like the rays of the sun, indicate the illuminating power of the acquisition of knowledge. Hence, the OAU brand is unmistakingly academic, cultural, traditional, communal and knowledge-propagating. It embodies OAU‟s uniqueness as a citadel of learning and culture.

1.3 VISION AND MISSION STATEMENT

Our Vision

A top-rated University in Africa.

1.4 Our Mission

To nurture a teaching and learning community; advance frontiers of knowledge; engender a sense of selfless public service, and add value to African culture.

6.0 SUCCESS FACTORS/ACCOMPLISHMENT

6.1 Internal Efficiency of the System The University, under the able leadership of Prof. Eyitope Ogunbodede, has continued to be committed to its vision, mission and values. Ever since he assumed the mantle of leadership as the substantive Vice-Chancellor, he has continued the adoption of the due process mechanisms in all spheres of operation which has enhanced performance within the system. The University has great respect for and is committed to transparency and the ethical approach to all activities. This has obviously complemented its very strict financial control system.

6.1.1 Peace, Security and Good Governance Peace has been restored and consolidated. This has brought many dividends. The campus is better secured through the activities of the campus Security Unit. The security professionals are assisted with an effective Security Committee. The Cracker Squad of the Security and Common Services Unit has been restructured and renamed OAU safety corps (OSAC) in order to serve the University better in terms of civility, approach, response and orientation. The new OAU Safety Corps a.k.a OSAC in the University Security Unit is composed of a group of retrained and newly recruited personnel with required skills and experience in institutional security. In view of the security challenges in the country, the Security Unit had been equipped with technical supporting tools ranging from bomb detectors and metal detectors, walkie-talkies and accessories and rechargeable torch lights for efficient and effective operations. In the quest to have a Security Unit that can compete anywhere in Nigeria and beyond, the present administration also invested in manpower capacity building and development through training/retraining of security personnel and their leadership within and outside the University.

6.1.2 Internally Generated Revenue The main sources of the University‟s internally generated revenue are investment, business operations, academic ventures and donations. The Univesity is striving to meet the NUC guideline of generating a minimum of 10% of Government Subvention to boost revenue.

6.2 KEY ACCOMPLISHMENT IN THE UNIVERSITY Some of the noteworthy achievements recorded during the year under review are highlighted below:

OAU Alumni dazzle the World The Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife has had international reputation as an emerging 21st Century World Class African University with the feat achieved by three alumni of the University, namely Professor Oluyinka Olutoye, his wife, Dr. Toyin Olutoye and (Mrs) Oluyemisi Adeyemi-Fowode that were part of the team of doctors that successfully separated conjoined twins in a surgery that is presently being celebrated in the American media and the global medical world.

Professor Oluyinka Olutoye, a pediatric surgeon with the Texas Children Hospital and Director of the Texas Children‟s Fetal Centre/Co-director of Prenatal Surgeon Fellowship Programme of the Baylor College of Medicine, was one of the top twelve surgeons, while his wife, Dr. Toyin Olutoye, an anesthesiologist and Dr (Mrs) Oluyemisi Adeyemi-Fowode, a gynaecologist, were among the team that performed the twenty-six hour long historic surgeon on the ten-month old conjoined twins in a Houston Hospital in Texas.

OAU gets $ 1.12 Million to Plant Vegetables Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife received a grant of $1.12million from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) Canada to advance research on indigenous vegetables beyond the shore of Nigeria. The scheme further empowered men and women farmers across Osun, Ekiti, Ondo and Oyo states through domestication, cultivation and marketing of indigenous vegetables like Igbagba, Woorowo, Ogunmo, Ugu, Teteabalaye and Odu.

ICAN Lecture Theatre Commissioned On the occasion of the commissioning of the ICAN Lecture Theatre, the University Administration appreciated the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) for maintaining the age-long relationship between the institutions as demonstrated by the donation of the building to the University. The Chairman of Past Presidents of ICAN, Balogun Bisi Omidiora whom the lecture theatre was named after, expressed his gratitude to the President and the entire executives of ICAN for the great honour done to him by immortalizing his name in the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, and his hometown.

OAU gets $8m for ACE Project The dogged commitment of researchers at the Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife, to top quality research whose output will not only advance the frontiers of knowledge but also improve the quality of the lives of the generality of the people, attracted the interest of the funding agency established by the governments of the Republic of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal and Togo with support from the World Bank. The agency which commenced operations in 2013 and saddled with the responsibility of realizing the African Centre of Excellence (ACE) project had announced the selection of OAU and nine (9) other Universities as recipients of grants in furtherance and pursuit of the ACE project. The objective of the ACE project is essentially to promote regional specialization among participating Universities within areas that address particular regional developmental challenges as well as strengthen the capacities of participating Universities to deliver high-quality training and applied research.

OAU partners with Harvard University in preserving Architectural Heritage The University took a new pioneering leap during the session under review by entering into a research partnership with Harvard University, Cambridge, USA. The focus of the research is “preserving and promoting Nigeria‟s architectural heritage, a combined community and digital approach”. In executing this multi-disciplinary research, a research group in OAU led by the former Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Administration), Prof. L. O. Kehinde will collaborate with its counterparts at Harvard University. The project identifies historical architectural legacies that are currently endangered and uses a combination of community education and digital technology to ensure that such legacies are preserved.

Center for Distance Learning The Centre for Distance Learning had signed an academic collaboration agreement on online science practicals with the Open University of the United Kingdom. The research project, which is being funded by the Wolfson Foundation of the United Kingdom, provides for collaboration in the development and testing of practical science experiments as a means of teaching science online.

10.8 FACULTY OF DENTISTRY The Faculty runs both undergraduate and postgraduate dentistry programmes leading to the award of BChD and MSc/PhD in Dental Public Health. During the year under review, the Faculty has continued to produce dental graduates of international standard with appropriate knowledge and skills who are highly employable and able to employ themselves. The Faculty of Dentistry was equipped to enable the dental graduates meet not only the employment requirements of the nation and the world at large but also to confront the challenges of principles higher than mere self-interest and self-fulfilment in a rapidly changing technological world.

There are four Departments in the Faculty, namely, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Oral Pathology; Department of Restorative Surgery; Department of Child Dental Health and Department of Preventive and Community Dentistry.

10.10 FACULTY OF ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT In the year under review, the Faculty has pursued relentlessly its objectives of producing skilled and competent professionals in the various fields of environmental design, construction and management. The Faculty has focused on the sourcing and development of alternative building materials from locally, e.g. laterite, palm kernel shell, coconut shell, bamboo tree, erosion sand, groundnut shell ash, palm kernel shell ash, coconut shell ash etc.

The Faculty has also commenced a five-year degree programme in Surveying and Geoinformatics which has increased the total number of programmes in the Faculty from five (5) to six (6).

Faculty Activities The Department of Quantity Surveying has made tremendous achievements in providing leadership to other institutions offering quantity surveying programmes. The Department is the first Department to offer M.Sc. and PhD in Quantity Surveying in the country. Also, the M.Phil programme has also been approved. Brilliant performances of our graduates at Quantity Surveying professional examinations also attest to the achievement of the Department. The Department has been able to attract some assistance from her alumni and others. The Department has produced her first Professor and some PhD holders. Among them are a world-renowned professor in England and another head of the engineering services of the UN Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna.

During the period under review, Hezekiah Oluwasanmi Library collaborated with the Department of Fine & Arts in a bid to give the Library a facelift and showcase the abundant skills and talents of the students. At present, a number of students‟ projects (art collections) are conspicuously displayed in strategic locations in the library, thus adding aesthetic value to it.

10.11 FACULTY OF LAW In year 2017, the Faculty of Law continued to live up to its billing of teaching, research and community service. The Faculty of Law comprises four (4) Departments namely: Business Law, International Law, Jurisprudence and Private Law and Public Law. The Faculty also continued to offer Postgraduate programmes namely Masters of Law (LLM). Masters of Philosophy, (M.Phil) and Doctor of Philosophy in Law (PhD). The students of the Faculty continued to excel at the law school, international and local moot trials and competition. Lecturers in the Faculty have also been productively engaged in both national and international academic/research programmes.

Faculty Activities The staff members in the Faculty were engaged in various research projects, attended workshops, presented conference papers and participated in capacity building training. Academic staff members also published articles in peer reviewed law journals locally and internationally.

Yusuf Ali (SAN) donated 7.1 Million Naira worth E-Library facility to the Law Faculty Library. Standardization and accessibility of the Faculty of Law Library with Hezekiah Oluwasanmi Library received a boost courtesy of Barr. Yusuf Ali (SAN), an alumnus of the Obafemi Awolowo University. The legal icon has continued to extend his goodwill and philanthropic gesture to the Faculty of Law Library and the Hezekiah Oluwasanmi Library for many years.

10.12 FACULTY OF PHARMACY The Faculty of Pharmacy comprises the following Departments: Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmacy administration, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmaceutics, Pharmacognosy, Pharmacology and Drug Research and Production Unit. The Faculty has continued to focus on its primary assignment of running the bachelor and postgraduate degree programmes in all its five (5) academic departments and one unit. The Unit consolidates the various efforts on research in the Faculty. The staff development programme of the University has contributed immensely towards the capacity building of staff in the Faculty.

Faculty Activities The Faculty continued to prosecute relevant research in pharmacognosy, natural chemistry and traditional medicine in order to develop new medicines from natural sources. A robust research group on antimalarials and plant larvicides that focused on the antidiabetic and antimalarial activities of Nigerian plants is ongoing in the Faculty. It aimed at the discovery of chemical compounds for the management of diabetes and the total eradication of malaria as antiplasmodials, larvicidal agents. The Faculty also rendered consultancy services in the field of pharmacognosy, natural products chemistry and traditional medicine and also provide social and scientific services to the community in relevant fields. Presently, the Faculty had produced adequately trained Pharmacists, Postgraduate training for relevant graduates to enhance their competence in the relevant field especially in the field of Pharmacognosy, natural products chemistry and traditional medicine.

The Department of Pharmacology is one of the six pharmaceutical science departments within the Faculty of Pharmacy. The science of pharmacology addresses the issues of the understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanism underlying

76 both normal function and drug action. It provides great opportunities to contribute to biological knowledge and health. The Department had not relented in this onerous task and fosters interdisciplinary research work with other Departments. Therefore, many collaborative research endeavours are ongoing with colleagues in other Departments, such as Pharmacognosy, Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmaceutics and Drug Research Unit (DRPU). The Department also participates actively in Faculty programmes (such as Seminars, Guest Lectures, and Colloquium etc.).

The Department of Pharmacology has been involved in the training of academic staff in the University who is in the area of Neuropharmacology and other specialized areas of Pharmacology. Postgraduate Programme in the Faculty has continued to attract Pharmacists and Medical Doctors to be trained in the field of Pharmacology. The Department has continued to assists in the teaching of full and part-time students from Nursing Department of the University.

Research Activities Antiprotozoan Activities of Nigerian Medicinal Plants The primary endeavour of the research is the custom production of cell lines including trypanosome and malaria parasites and other protozoans of medical importance for screening of plant extracts/isolates. Plants produce a vast array of diverse chemical substances and any search of these resources for unusual chemical structures with unique biological properties can anticipate some degree of success. African medicinal plants implicated either by the nature of their chemical constituents or implicated to have biological properties will be collected, extracted, and bioactive components will be evaluated using various protozoans available in the laboratory. The antiprotozoan project (AP) at the DRPU for Life Sciences will provide several services to the research community related to protozoan cell culture. Related services will include general cell culture, cell freezing and storage, and preparation of medium. Assistance to researchers will also be provided in the use of bioassays and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Development of an International Medicinal Plant Garden The Faculty has a medicinal plant garden located in the University‟s Teaching and Research Farm. The farm has a variety of medicinal plants used by students and researchers in their work. The Consultant Herbalist assists in plant collection and collaboration with Traditional herbalists. The existing collaboration between Researchers and the Traditional Medical Practitioners (TMPs) is made easier through our Consultant Herbalist. The Medicinal Garden in the Teaching and Research Farm contains some Medicinal Plants which could be upgraded to commercial level with adequate funding.

10.13 FACULTY OF SCIENCE In 2017, the Faculty of Science offered scientific and technical advice to several bodies and communities on reforestation of degraded forests. The Faculty also performed excellently and contributed immensely in the areas of teaching, research and community service.

Department of Botany The Faculty through the Department of Botany is prosecuting the reforestation project of the University Estate. It has also continued to raise and supply seedlings of indigenous and exotic plant species to the public for planting in their compounds and farms. Lecturers in the department offer consultancy services on environmental pollution, degradation and reforestation to government and the public. Departmental Herbarium identifies plants for International Herbaria, scholars and public. It is the second longest in Nigeria. The Reforestation Unit of the Department has successfully replanted/reseeded some defrosted and degraded areas of the University Estate. Some of the trees planted are fully established.

Department of Chemistry The Department of Chemistry is sub-divided into six sub-units, namely: Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Analytical / Environmental Chemistry, Industrial Chemistry / Applied Chemistry (Food Chemistry) and Organic Geochemistry. Each of these sub-units is involved in active research efforts with publications in top-rated word class journals, locally and internationally. Research Activities in Inorganic Chemistry include nano-materials, coordination chemistry and materials science including thin films and bioactivity of metal complexes of barbituric acid.

Department of Zoology The Department of Zoology is active in research activities and recent publications by academic staff are contained in Table 10.18 below.
