The Vice Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Professor Wahab Egbewole, has unveiled the Alumni National Unity Convention Planning Committee to plan and organise a national unity convention by July/August this year.
A statement by the institution’s Director of Corporate Affairs, Mr Kunle Akogun, on Saturday said that this is sequel to the resolution of the lingering differences between the three contending factions of the alumni association at a stakeholders’ meeting convened at the instance of the Vice-Chancellor.
Akogun added that Egbewole’s intervention was informed by the admonition of the court handling the case, which called on the Vice-Chancellor to resolve the lingering crisis in the alumni.
Inaugurating the Convention Planning Committee last Wednesday, Egbewole said its mandate is to put in place a brand-new alumni association that would be partners in progress with the university management.
Members of the Unity Convention Planning Committee according to the statement include Mr Oyediran Oloyede and Mutiu Olaleke Agboke from the Engr.
