During this period, it has witnessed substantial growth and development that we can now proudly beat our chest and say that this noble TUniversity has come to stay. Let me begin therefore by paying tribute to the originator and the brain behind the idea of this University which is no person other than the highly revered and progressive Executive Governor of Ondo State, His Excellency, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, MB, ChB (OAU, Ile-Ife), CON the only human Iroko in Nigeria. Surely, when the history of this University is written, and the development of pioneering health infrastructures in this country is choreographed, the name Dr. Olusegun Raman Mimiko will ring loud and clear. I also wish to thank those who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this project a reality. And just a few will be mentioned here. HRM Kabiyesi Oba Victor Kiladejo Jilo III has worked on this project as if his very existence depends on it. Sir, we are indeed, very grateful and we pray that the Almighty Lord will continue to bless and protect you as you take the Ondo Kingdom to greater heights of development. The Chairman of Council, Distinguished Emeritus Professor O. O. Akinkugbe is not only the Chairman, he is also the Chief Advisor of the University, and the Chief Architect of many of the milestones identified for the University. We are very grateful to you sir for what you have been to this University. I also wish to thank the Commissioner of Health, Dr. Dayo Adeyanju, his pioneering role in ensuring the take-off of the University can never be forgotten. We are also grateful to the Commissioner of Education, Arc Jide Adejuyigbe and the Commissioner for Finance, Chief Yele Ogundipe who have continued to function as unpaid Chief Disciples of the University. I would also like to acknowledge the uncanny foresightedness of the much respected High Chief Olusola Adeduro, the Sasere of Ondo Kingdom. Chief Adeduro is not only a member of the Governing Council of the University, he is also an ambassador plenipotentiary of the University. Indeed, High Chief Adeduro has not only donated some funds to enable the payment of the School fees of one of our students, he has donated his entire seating allowance as a member of the University Governing Council as a Trust-fund to assist the University's future development. The foundation of a new University is only as strong as the quality of its founding Administrators, Faculty, Staff and Students. I will like to thank the founding Registrar, Librarian, Bursar along with other Administrative Directors, Deans, Faculty, Staff and Students for their sacrifice and contribution to making this vision a reality. The history of the University cannot be told without the leadership, strength, perseverance and support you have given to this University, you will be remembered by generations to come for your role in the establishment of this institution. I will like to acknowledge the many donours to the University under the “Friends of UNIMED Network (FUN) and the Friends of UNIMED Fund (FUF)” for the purpose of obtaining the resources to grow the University to attain its mission and vision statements in light of the global recession and the dwindling Nigerian Federal and State resources. I would like to acknowledge the Ondo Development Committee (ODC) for all its support, donations, visitations

  • Causes, Effect and Abatement Measures of Flooding in River Ajilosun Drainage Basin in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria
    Donnish Journal of Ecology and the Natural Environment Vol 4(1) pp. 001-010 September, 2017 http://www.donnishjournals.org/djene Copyright © 2017 Donnish Journals Original Research Article Causes, Effect and Abatement Measures of Flooding in River Ajilosun Drainage Basin in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria Arohunsoro, Segun Joseph and Omotoba, Nathaniel Ileri* Department of Geography and Planning Science, Ekiti State University, P.M.B. 5363, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeira. Accepted 28th August, 2017. The paper examined causes, effect and abatement measures of flooding in River Ajilosun drainage basin in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. Data were collected on morphometric variables such as channel width and channel depth which were measured with ranging pole and tie rod. Channel efficiency was derived from a mathematical relationship between the channel capacity and the wetted perimeter of the channel. Data on slopes were obtained with Abney level. Data were also obtained on distance of buildings to river valley with a tape measure. 150 copies of questionnaire were also administered systematically to landlords of houses along River Ajilosun in order to obtain information on experience and effect of flooding in the basin. The study employed both descriptive and inferential statistics to analyze the data. The outcome of the descriptive analysis revealed illegal dumping of refuse in stream channel as the principal cause of flooding in River Ajilosun. Other causes of flooding are the heavy and frequent tropical rainfall in the area. The results of the quantitative analysis showed that the geomorphological variables accounted for about 80% of the total variation in spatial extent of flooding in the drainage basin.

  • Building Resilience of Tertiary Education Institutions in Africa to Tackle COVID-19 and Future Epidemics: a Multidisciplinary Research Network
    Ekejiuba, Salami, Okonofua, Ukaoha, Ntoimo, Arthur, Delamou, Yaya, Balogun, Odunsi, Wallis WERA – IRN Proposal Topic: Building Resilience of tertiary education institutions in Africa to tackle COVID-19 and future epidemics: A multidisciplinary research network 1) Abstract (not more than 150 words) COVID-19 outbreak has impacted negatively with consequential effects on health challenges, death, isolation and closure of schools. Africans remain at high risk because of poverty. Building resilience of higher institutions can help to overcome this and future pandemics. To date, African universities do not have coordinated resilient actions on ways to tackle the pandemic. If universities do not work together, this and future pandemics will not be defeated. What then will university stakeholders do to build resilience so as to handle the current and future pandemics? The answers to these questions will be the focus of this network project. Researchers will adopt regional analysis while employing mixed research methods. The findings will be useful in helping African universities collaborate with Universities in the south in building strong structures and milestones for overcoming the adverse consequences of the pandemic. It will help to create collaboration and strengthen networks within WERA-IRN global. 2) Research Topic and Plan The COVID-19 pandemic has had very devastating outcomes on educational institutions in many parts of the world. To date, nearly all countries have witnessed the disease, and as of January 15, 2021, over 96 million cases have been recorded worldwide, with an estimated 2 million death, surely one of the most devastating pandemics in modern times. Although sub-Saharan Africa has been less affected than other regions of the world with an estimated 3.2 million cases and 79,000 deaths during the same period, the pandemic has had more severe adverse consequences on the economy and education of African countries as compared to other parts of the world.

  • A Historical Survey of Socio-Political Administration in Akure Region up to the Contemporary Period
    European Scientific Journal August edition vol. 8, No.18 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 A HISTORICAL SURVEY OF SOCIO-POLITICAL ADMINISTRATION IN AKURE REGION UP TO THE CONTEMPORARY PERIOD Afe, Adedayo Emmanuel, PhD Department of Historyand International Studies,AdekunleAjasin University,Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria Abstract Thepaper examines the political transformation of Akureregion from the earliest times to the present. The paper traces these stages of political development in order to demonstrate features associated with each stage. It argues further that pre-colonial Akure region, like other Yoruba regions, had a workable political system headed by a monarch. However, the Native Authority Ordinance of 1916, which brought about the establishment of the Native Courts and British judicial administration in the region led to the decline in the political power of the traditional institution.Even after independence, the traditional political institution has continually been subjugated. The work relies on both oral and written sources, which were critically examined. The paper, therefore,argues that even with its present political status in the contemporary Nigerian politics, the traditional political institution is still relevant to the development of thesociety. Keywords: Akure, Political, Social, Traditional and Authority Introduction The paper reviews the political administration ofAkure region from the earliest time to the present and examines the implication of the dynamics between the two periods may have for the future. Thus,assessment of the indigenous political administration, which was prevalent before the incursion of the colonial administration, the political administration during the colonial rule and the present political administration in the region are examined herein.However, Akure, in this context, comprises the present Akure North, Akure South, and Ifedore Local Government Areas of Ondo State, Nigeria.

  • The Case Study of Owo LGA, Ondo State, Nigeria
    The International Journal Of Engineering And Science (IJES) ||Volume||2 ||Issue|| 9 ||Pages|| 19-31||2013|| ISSN(e): 2319 – 1813 ISSN(p): 2319 – 1805 Geo-Information for Urban Waste Disposal and Management: The Case Study of Owo LGA, Ondo State, Nigeria *1Dr. Michael Ajide Oyinloye and 2Modebola-Fadimine Funmilayo Tokunbo Department of Urban and Regional Planning, School of Environmental Technology, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria --------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT-------------------------------------------------- Management of waste is a global environmental issue that requires special attention for the maintenance of quality environment. It has been observed that amount, size, nature and complexity of waste generated by man are profoundly influenced by the level of urbanization and intensity of socio-economical development in a given settlement. The problem associated with its management ranges from waste generation, collection, transportation, treatment and disposal. The study involves a kind of multi-criteria evaluation method by using geographical information technology as a practical instrument to determine the most suitable sites of landfill location in Owo Local Government Area of Ondo state. Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) 2002 and updated 2012 were used to map the most suitable site for waste disposal in Owo LGA. The result indicates that sites were found within the study area. The most suitable sites in the study area are located at 200metre buffer to surface water and 100metre to major and minor roads. The selected areas have 2500metres buffer zone distance from urban areas (built up areas). The study purposes acceptable landfill sites for solid waste disposal in the study area. The results achieved in this study will help policy and decision makers to take appropriate decision in considering sanitary landfill sites.

  • In the Nineteenth Century Yorubaland Was Characterized by Revolutionary Political and Economic Changes
    Ethnic Identity and Nineteenth-Century Yoruba Warfare Olatunji Ojo (York University, Toronto) In the nineteenth century Yorubaland was characterized by revolutionary political and economic changes. These changes stemmed from a series of constitutional and other socio-economic disruptions, initially in Oyo and later in other districts. The weakening of Oyo’s central administration after 1800, exacerbated by the spread of Islam and the expansion of legitimate trade generated rapid political changes, the most important of which was the century-long Yoruba wars.1 Yoruba warfare has attracted substantial scholarship. Some writers attribute the wars to attempts by various states to fill the vacuum created by the fall of Oyo. To this group, the wars were fallouts of state formation processes in Africa.2 The other school or the Anthony Hopkins/Economic school links the wars to global economic movements, especially those associated with falling revenue from trade in slaves, and later palm oil.3 This paper, while bridging the two schools identifies a third issue: identity crisis. Peoples and communities occupied different strata within the social system. People were also classified based on ethnicity, class, age and even gender. Each of these identities or a combination of two or more dominated the course of the nineteenth century Yoruba history. Therefore, whether with warfare, slavery, religious observations, and property ownership, there were issues over who were the combatants? Who could be enslaved or not and who could be killed at religious functions? The ways in which people identified themselves, and how others identified them were at stake in discussions about political control, religious rituals, property relation and how people fought against the status quo.
