Six years after, about 40,130 graduates of the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, have yet to be issued their degree certificates.

According to the institution’s authorities, the graduates left the university between 2005 and 2011.

Consequently, the authorities have concluded planss to ensure that these five sets of the university would be
handed over their certificates at the institution’s forthcoming convocationcoming up soon.

The acting Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Saburi Adesanya, stated this on Thursday while addressing journalists in Abeokuta.

According to Adesanya, the university has now concluded plans to present the certificates  to the graduands at the  ceremony billed for between October 8 and 9.

The acting Vice-Chancellor, however, said, the university had not admitted more than the number of students permitted by law.

Adesanya noted that the institution currently has 15,000 student population, adding that it had yet to meet the 4, 370  admission quota granted it by the National  Universities Commission.

He also assured stakeholders that the OOU management had resolved to publish the names of its students in order to clear the air on the population of the students it has offered admission.

The acting Vice-Chancellor also blamed the rising wave of cultism in the higher institution on off-campus system.

Adesanya therefore called on real estate developers and property investors to build hostels within the university campus in order to check the menace of cultism.
