State and Academic Support for Regional Stability
The Executive Guv of Ogun State, speaking through the Deputy Governor, Engr. Noimot Salako-Oyedele, commended District 9111 for its significant humanitarian footprint and its tactical option to anchor the facility within a state organization.
She kept in mind that the brand-new infrastructure will function as an essential regional anchor for mediation and neighborhood development.
Acknowledging the long-lasting vision of the centre, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academics) of OOU, Prof. Olatundun Abosede, expressed deep institutional gratitude to the Rotarians.
She described the facility as a high-yield financial investment in social preservation that will raise OOU’s status as a centre of quality for peacebuilding across the West African sub-region.
The operationalisation of the building marks the fulfilment of a capital project dedication initiated less than a year ago following its initial groundbreaking in September 2025, building on fundamental certificate course designs originated by the instant past District Guv, Dr Oluwole Kukoyi.
