UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN host CAMPUS SNEAK AFRICA

NIGERIA'S PREMIER UNIVERSITY; THE UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN hosts CAMPUS SNEAK AFRICA.





The University of Ibadan, Nigeria, since 1948

The University of Ibadan, the very first University in Nigeria, located in the South Western part of the country, namely Ibadan, Nigeria, West Africa.

Visiting/ Touring this huge campus with Massive landscape is an experience that cannot be forgotten. We were present on campus for eleven days yet we could not cover the length and width of this campus.
Why? Because every place, every building, every spot has an history related story tied to Nigeria as a country and even the birth of tertiary education in Nigeria and even some in Africa.

Virtually everything in this institution is almost the first in Nigeria e.g the first teaching hospital, the first bookshop, the first Zoological garden for teaching research and recreation, the first Library which was also the very first library in Nigeria and many more.

It also exudes so much array of Landmark occasions like when the Queen of England visited the University which is the reason why the popular and highly sought-after female hostel is named Queens hall.
University of Ibadan currently houses the largest student Hall of Residence in West Africa namely the Obafemi Awolowo Hall.

Talking about the Executive, Principal Staff and Management of this prestigious University, i saw in each person i encountered Commitment and Dedication to excellence,
Prof.Olayinka,Vice Chancellor, Univ.of Ibadan
I also experienced from their expression that pride that comes with being the first and still at the forefront of what tertiary education standard is in Nigeria.

Nifemi Ojo, President, Student Union
Concerning the students i chatted with, right from the number one student who occupy the seat of the student union president,
history was made meeting the very first student union president that is full of humility yet loaded with crystal clear goals and objective.

My experience at the Zoo
is not just something i can ever forget so quickly starting from the reception by the Staff on ground to the healthy environment of different energy pumping animals that answered to different names by which they were christened by the staff and management of the zoo. It's a place worthy of visit.




One thing that cannot leave my mind even till now is the mind
blowing in-depth teaching & training at the Faculty of Agriculture, the kind of mastery demonstrated by the students of Aquaculture and fishery Management on the fish farm is what i can not just get over.
