Prof. Wahab Olasupo Egbewole, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), has claimed that the school’s library stands shoulder to shoulder with leading libraries across the world.
Egbewole stated this recently, when he received a delegation from the Nigerian Army Institute of Science Education and Technology (NAISET), who visited him after concluding weeks of practical sessions at the University of Ilorin Library.
Represented by the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research, Technology and Innovation), Prof Muhtar Adeiza Etudaiye, the Vice Chancellor explained that recent assessments of libraries in some of the oldest universities in Asia showed that facilities and services at the University of Ilorin compare favourably with international standards.
He added that the skills acquired by NAISET participants during their training were globally relevant. Egbewole described the programme as a platform that strengthens interdisciplinary exchanges and fosters knowledge sharing in a democratic academic setting.
The Vice Chancellor also appreciated the longstanding relationship between the University of Ilorin and the Nigerian Army, noting that collaborations between both institutions can be traced back to the establishment of NAISET and have consistently advanced academic and professional development together.
