Speaking at OAU’s 48th convocation ceremony on Saturday, Senator Tinubu lamented the proliferation of commercial motorcyclists, commonly referred to as Okada, within the university premises. She called for a collaborative effort to restore the institution’s lost glory by addressing environmental issues and providing modern transportation solutions.

“Today, as we were coming in, I noticed numerous Okada riders. The last time I came here, I talked about the environment that used to be known of University of Ife and the landscape. Hence, my decision to donate N1 billion to beautify the environment. And today, as we came in, I was telling the Ooni about the too many Okada. We don’t see that in UNILAG,” she remarked.

The First Lady also revealed her discussion with other honorary awardees about donating shuttle buses to reduce the reliance on Okada within the campus. “I spoke with other awardees and other young billionaires on the need to get shuttle buses to check the Okada menace,” she added.

The event also saw distinguished Nigerians conferred with honorary doctorate degrees. Among the honorees were Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi, Professor Anthony Adegbulugbe, MTN Nigeria CEO Karl Toriola, and Daere Afonya-A Akobo.

Senator Tinubu’s remarks highlight the need for improved infrastructure and transportation within OAU, which was once celebrated for its picturesque landscape and serene environment. Her donation of N1 billion underscores her commitment to restoring the university’s aesthetic appeal and fostering a conducive academic environment.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
