Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has dissolved and reconstituted the governing council of Osun State University (UNIOSUN) as part of efforts to strengthen governance structures at the institution.
A statement issued in Osogbo on Friday by the Spokesperson to the Governor, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, said the reconstitution was carried out to avoid gaps in the operation of the globally rated university following the dissolution of the previous board.
Sooko (Prof) Adewale Abiodun Oladipo, who chaired the dissolved council, has been retained as Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the new governing council.
Other members of the reconstituted council include Alhaji Gbadegesin Lawal, Otunba Titi Laoye-Ponnle, Mr. Akinola Franklin Omoniyi, Chief Funminiyi Awotide, Mr. Orija Samuel Adebayo and Mrs. Adewale Adetayo Bola.
Governor Adeleke charged the new council to sustain the university’s excellent record and support management in delivering further innovation.
The council will be inaugurated on Monday, August 31, 2026.
