By God's grace,
the greatness and popularity of the Obafemi Awolowo
University (OAU) is by no means an accident. Founded
in 1962 as the University of Ife but rechristened by the
Federal Military Government as the Obafemi Awolowo
University on May 12, 1987, in honour of one of its most
distinguished founding fathers and eminent nationalist,
politician, lawyer, statesman and former chancellor - Chief Obafemi
Awolowo.
The Ife campus is regarded as "Africa's
most beautiful campus", the university is
endowed with beautiful architecture and an eye
catching landscape built on about 5,000 acres of a
total of 13,000 acres of the land owned by the
university.
