to a request by the Governing Council of the Polytechnic Ibadan to establish a state university.[2] He set up a committee that, in 1988, recommended the creation of the
university. By March 13, 1990, Nigeria's
federal military government accepted the
state's request; the edict establishing Oyo
State University of Technology was signed on April 23, 1990.[2] The first vice-chancellor of the university was
Professor Olusegun Ladimeji Oke. During the
