The Alumni Association has once again demonstrated its enduring commitment to the welfare and support of students of our great alma mater with the presentation of two (2) tricycles (Keke NAPEP) to the University Management for the use of students commuting from the Alumni Village, particularly those residing in the Medical Hostel.
The presentation was made to the University Vice-Chancellor, Joseph Babatola Ayodele, on behalf of the University community by the Secretary of BoT, Mr. Isaac Akinleye and supported by the Mayor of the Alumni Village, Dr. Oludotun Adetunberu.
This intervention by the Alumni Association is a direct fall-out of a promise made by the Global President of the Alumni Association following a courtesy visit by the leadership of the Ekiti State University Students’ Union Government to his office. During the visit, the Students’ Union leaders drew attention to the transportation challenges faced by students residing in the Medical Hostel located within the Alumni Village and requested that three (3) tricycles be dedicated to convey students between the hostels and the main campus.
Moved by the genuine concern expressed by the students, the Global President took the request forward and engaged members of the Alumni community to support the initiative. In response, one of our distinguished alumni, Akinsanmi Falaki, D. Fin. (h.c), graciously offered to procure four (4) tricycles to support the commuting needs of the students.
In fulfillment of this generous pledge, two (2) tricycles have now been delivered and formally presented to the University Management for deployment in transporting students from the Alumni Village, especially those residing in the Medical Hostel. Mr. Falaki has also assured the Association that the remaining two (2) tricycles will be procured and delivered within the next few weeks.
The Alumni Association deeply appreciates the altruism, generosity, and unwavering commitment of Mr. Falaki to the progress of our alma mater and the welfare of its students. His gesture exemplifies the spirit of giving back that defines the Ekiti State University Alumni Association.
The Association remains committed to partnering with the University Management and other stakeholders to improve student experience and strengthen the development of Ekiti State University.
