F O R E W O R D It would be correct to aver that Adekunle Ajasin University is gradually coming of age. It is now about 14 years old on its present site! The Convocation Ceremonies which commenced with a Press Briefing on Tuesday, 12th March, 2013, are the fourth in the history of the University since the second phase of its history commenced November 1999. This year's edition is unique in a number of ways. It is of a broader scope, presenting a record figure of graduands of about 6,000, and taking place in our new look, more beautiful, greener and inviting Campus. Perhaps more importantly, new features and programmes have been added, making the Convocation Ceremonies this year quite a ground- breaker of some sort. This year's Convocation has a place for Exhibition (scientific and artistic) and Poster Presentations. This is one programme that affords members of the public an opportunity of a glimpse into some of the efforts at scientific research and investigation on- going in the University. I have the utmost pleasure in inviting you, most humbly, to be a part of these and all of the events lined up for this most unique Convocation. Thank you for being a part of our dream of building a 21st Century University, properly called! Professor N. Oluwafemi Mimiko, Vice Chancellor, E-mail: [email protected]; femi.

It was renamed Adekunle Ajasin University, in 2004. Status: Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, is an Institution owned by the Ondo State Government Strategic Focus: The University's strategic focus is to be a foremost University that moves manpower development in the direction of self- apprenticeship; a first-class University in research, knowledge, character and service to humanity. Mandate: To provide knowledge and skill for self-reliance in a conducive environment where teaching, learning and research can take place. 2 E X H I B I T I O N & P O S T E R P R E S E N T A T I O N Summarized History: Adekunle Ajasin University is located in Akungba-Akoko, in Akoko South-West Local Government of the State. The University campus is located along Ikare-Owo Road. It is approximately 6km south of Ikare, the nearest urban (commercial) center, 7km west of Oka, headquarters of Akoko South West Local Government, 48km north of Owo and 70km north-east of Akure. Akungba-Akoko is at a radius of about 150km to other big towns like Ondo, Ifon, Idoani, Ado, Auchi, Okene, Kabba, etc. The University was first established in March 1982 with the name Obafemi Awolowo University, by the government of the old Ondo State, led by the late Chief Adekunle Ajasin. The succeeding military government of Navy Commodore Bamidele Otiko changed the name to Ondo State University in 1985. Relocation to Akungba-Akoko became imperative in 1999 following the creation of a new State out of the old Ondo three years earlier in October 1996. The bill for the relocation was signed into law by the Governor of the State, Chief Adebayo Adefarati, precisely on November 5, 1999, prompting the movement of a crop of workers from the old site in Ado-Ekiti to Akungba-Akoko on December 1, 1999. The bill for yet another name change, this time to Adekunle Ajasin University, after the late Governor Ajasin, was signed into law by Governor Adefarati in 2004.The amended and subsisting Statue of the University was signed into law in November 2007, by former Governor Olusegun Agagu. 3 E X H I B I T I O N & P O S T E R P R E S E N T A T I O N Notable Achievements: Some notable achievements of the University are: v Accreditation of all courses run in the University v A functional campus wide Internet network for staff and vStudents v A functional and dynamic University website. v Adoption of the new salary structure arising from the FGN vUnions agreements of2 009 v NUC declared Best State University in quality of academic staff in 2005 v The introduction of Work Study Scheme for students Establishment of the following special and unique development Centres each addressing specific issues relevant to the accomplishment of the overall mandate of the University. v Leadership Institute for Public Policy and Sustainable Development (LIPPSDev) v Women Studies and Development Centre v The Ajasin Varsity Theatre, and v The University Advancement Office Distinguished Alumni: A few distinguished alumni of the University are: Dr. Pius Osunyinkami Special Adviser to the President on International Affairs Dr. A.

Accepted 16 September, 2009 This study takes a critical look at the ways through which political office holders manipulated recruitment into the public service of Ondo State between 1999 and 2003. It holds that the phenomenal rise in the size of the public service of Ondo state during this period was due largely to political exertion; something akin to the spoils systems in the 18th century United States. The cost implication of this increase was adjudged disturbing as 65.31% of the revenue accruable to the State goes to the payment of the emolument of these public servants who constitute just 1% of the entire population.

  • The Outlook for Ondo: Votes and Violence
    The Outlook for Ondo: Votes and Violence OCTOBER 2020 Introduction On the 10 October 2020, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will conduct the sixth governorship election in Ondo State since the restoration of democracy in 1999. The state, in Nigeria’s south-west geo-political zone, is currently held by the All Progressive Congress (APC) and is strategic in protecting the APCs political hegemony in the zone. Although 17 parties have registered candidates, only three have a chance of winning: the APC, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP). The defection of the incumbent deputy governor, Agboola Ajayi, from the APC and his subsequent emergence as the governorship candidate of ZLP, raised the stakes in the elections. This report provides an overview of the political environment leading up to the election. Specifically, it analyses the strength of the three major political parties and their candidates by thoroughly examining the history of votes and voting pattern, political alliances, and election-related violence. The Candidates Agboola Ajayi (ZLP) is the current deputy governor of Ondo State, a lawyer by training and a grassroots politician. He was a ward chairman in the defunct Alliance for Democracy (AD), a former chairman of Ese- Odo local government area (LGA) and is a former member of the House of Representatives. Former governor of the state, Dr Olusegun Mimiko (2009-2017), was a member of his ZLP party. The APC candidate, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, is the incumbent governor of the state. Prior to his election in 2017, he was the Ondo State Attorney-General and Commissioner of Justice, a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association and a failed gubernatorial aspirant, having contested and lost the governorship elections in 2012 on the platform of the now defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).

  • Diplomacy and Global Security: a Historical Narrative of the Post-Cold War Era
    Diplomacy and Global Security: A Historical Narrative of the Post-Cold War Era Diplomacy and Global Security: A Historical Narrative of the Post-Cold War Era Henry B. Ogunjewo, Ph.D Department of History & Strategic Studies, University of Lagos, Nigeria Email: [email protected]@gmail.com Abstract Immediately after the Cold war, there was a general optimism of an international system that would enable the component nation-states to pursue economic growth and greater independence. Despite the various strategies by the component nation states in the international system to attain self- sufficiency in economic terms and thus reduce dependence on other nation states for their needs and survival thereby weakening bilateral relations, the contemporary realities of the international system in the face of global security challenges pose a compelling sustained cooperation and collaboration among the nation states in the international system. Global security includes military and diplomatic measures that nations and international organizations such as the United Nations (UN) and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) take to ensure mutual safety and security. It also includes the regional and sub-regional collaborative strategies at combating security challenges. Diplomacy and global security are among the most pressing issues facing the world today. Success or failure can have huge implications for the international community and society as a whole. This paper submits that global security will remain a compelling factor in diplomatic relations in the twenty-first century. Keywords: Global Security, Diplomacy, Cold War, Collaborative Strategies, Sustained Cooperation Introduction Global security in the contemporary international system includes military and diplomatic measures that nation-states and international organizations such as the United Nations and NATO as well as regional organizations like the European Union (EU), the African Union (AU), the Organization of American State (OAS) and so on take to ensure mutual safety and security.

  • AD/Afenifere: the Squandering of Heritage
    ADAfenifere The Squandering of Heritage Page 1 of 6 AD/Afenifere: The Squandering of Heritage By Dr. Wale Adebanjo Now that the Yoruba have overwhelmingly voted, as the election results indicate, for the People's Democratic Party, we must note that it will not be the first time a people will vote against what they do not 'like' and vote for what they do not 'need'. The electoral defeat of AD has come to be seen as a major rupture in Yoruba politics. It is not. Rather, it is the consolidation of a process that began much earlier but distinctively in 1998/1999 when the Afenifere leadership started behaving like autocratic inheritors of a democratic legacy. In an earlier essay, 'Obasanjo, Yoruba and the Future of Nigeria' (ThisDay, The Sunday Newspaper, February 16, 2003), I had referred to the soon-to-be ex-Governor Bisi Akande's statement that the soon-to-be two-term President Olusegun Obasanjo would always be an embarrassment to himself. I had added, crucially, that that was not the whole truth, and that it was an abdication of the predisposition to face the whole political truth, for, indeed, President Olusegun Obasanjo would always be an embarrassment to the Yoruba. Now, Akande, who made bold to reveal this partial truth, has been kicked out of Osun State Government House and Obasanjo, about whom the partial truth was revealed, has been overwhelmingly returned to Aso Rock Villa. Beyond that, Akande's party, the Alliance for Democracy, has been overwhelmingly rejected by the people for whom it was primarily created, and Obasanjo's party, the People's Democratic Party, a largely derelict association of mostly light-hearted buccaneers, has been overwhelmingly voted into the government houses in the West, except Lagos.

  • Awo and His Politics: a Silver Jubilee Intimate Reminiscence by Ayo Opadokun
    AWO AND HIS POLITICS: A SILVER JUBILEE INTIMATE REMINISCENCE BY AYO OPADOKUN Nigeria’s political landscape shook to its roots on 9th of May 1987, when the most unexpected happened. The earth-shaking occurrence was the transition to glory of Chief Jeremiah Oyeniyi Obafemi Awolowo (OA). With such a massive blow, Nigeria’s Progressives on the political divide lost Obafemi Awolowo, the most priced and valued possession, and the man for whom Chief Emeka Ojukwu spun the most enduring epithet, “The Best President Nigeria Never Had”. Indeed, OA was the best President Nigeria never had, thanks to the deliberate and conscious conspiracy of ultra-reactionary elements and agents of Right-Wing foreign socio-economic and political leeches. With the benefit of hindsight, we cannot but marvel at the last 100 days of OA. He displayed some signs, which we took no notice of at the Time-T. Lets us commence the journey from his last birthday on March 6, 1987. While OA’s guests were just having the usual breakfast at Efunyela Hall, OA enjoyed social interaction with those present. Mama, HID was also seated. At about 10am, I, as a personal Aide after Rotimi Abe got incarcerated for appending his name to OA’s convincing response which proved that contrary to General Idi Agbon’s assertion that UPN’s Governors have confessed to embezzling state funds to service the UPN party, none of them had been interrogated by the SIP as at that time I was called out to meet with a delegation from Oye Community now in Ekiti State.

Introduction Government in modern times is administered with the aid of bureaucracy. Despite noticeable dissimilarities in form and substance, bureaucratic structure is one of such elements that no developed, underdeveloped, democratic or dictatorial country could afford to neglect. Having rightly or (wrongly) made the choice of its creation, the contemplation of its extermination could well be the foundation of the end of a historical process; the cessation of governance as we know it today.
