UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN, IBADAN, NIGERIA

OFFICE OF THE VICE-CHANCELLOR 

WELCOME NOTE TO ALL STUDENTS ON RESUMPTION FOR

THE SECOND SEMESTER, 2015/2016 SESSION

Greatest UITEs

On behalf of the Management of the University of Ibadan,

it is my pleasure to welcome you back from the brief break after the First Semester examination.

The second Semester of the 2015/2016 session is expected to start

in earnest.

It is our hope and plan that the rest of the session will

run without hitch to ensure that the session is

completed by January 2017 in line with the adjusted

university calendar.

The Management and I have and will continue to explore ways of improving the living conditions that will facilitate concentration and improve the quality of learning, teaching and research, especially provision of

municipal services notably electricity and water.

The Management is committed and open to exploring

fresh ideas and will continue to open its doors for

meetings and consultations with students’ leaders and

bodies that represent the student's interests- academic,

welfare, social and entrepreneurial.

It is crucial to maintain peace on campus at all costs

because of its implications on the safety of students and

because it ensures that the institution’s calendar run

without interruption.

I must commend the high sense of responsibility and

seriousness with which you comported yourself during

the First Semester examination; provisional reports

confirm that there are excellent results in spite of the

initial challenges at the beginning of the session.

As you are aware, lectures are to begin on Monday, 15

August, 2016 while the Second Semester Examinations

are to commence barely 13 weeks from now.

Once again, I welcome you to the new semester which

promises to be even more rewarding. Thank you and God

bless.
