About Us

The Obafemi Awolowo University Advancement Office was established in September 2006 and saddled with the responsibility of cultivating and maintaining the University’s strategic relationships with stakeholders, enhancing the University’s reputation, and galvanising support for the achievement of its objectives, strategic goals and priorities.

We are committed to advancing education, fostering innovation, and empowering the next generation of national and international leaders through transformative initiatives that are disseminated through excellence in teaching, research, and community service.

Our Alumni remain our most cherished assets, as they continue to display evidence of the excellent foundation they have received at GREAT IFE in the international community as Captains of Industries and Solution Providers in every field of human endeavour. Their consistent interest in the development of the University through numerous initiatives at individual and group levels is one of the pillars that sustains us as an institution.

The Advancement Team of the University remains committed to cultivating and maintaining mutually beneficial relationships for the University, while working actively to attract financial and other forms of support for Alumni, Private and Public Agencies, Trusts, Foundations, Philanthropic individuals and Friends of the University, towards its sustainable development.
