The Ooni of Ife, Arole Oduduwa Olofin Adimula, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, has criticised the country’s tertiary education system, saying that Nigerian universities churn out millions of graduates yearly without arming them with the necessary skills and support they need to support the development of the country.

The monarch spoke through a post on his verified social media handles after securing full accreditation for the take off courses of the Ojaja University, Eyenkorin Ilorin, Kwara State, formerly Crown-Hill University, from the National Universities Commission (NUC) aided by its substantial Vice Chancellor, Prof. Jeleel Ojuade.

Since his ascension to the throne of his forbearers over seven years ago, the Ooni has made clear his intention of not only bringing an all-inclusive reign to Oodua race but also pledged to bring unprecedented development in all facets of life, including the areas of human empowerment, business development, youth empowerment, agricultural development, infrastructural development and promoting made-in-Nigeria product with the recent launch of his multi-million naira retail outlet, Ojaja More, in Ile-Ife and Osogbo, Osun State with other outlets across South-West currently under construction.

Based on his passion for education and entrepreneurship, during the week, he revealed plans for the official commissioning of his citadel of learning, the Ojaja University.
