A Bachelor of Science in Taxation program is about to begin at Kwara State University, and preparations are well underway.

While this is going on, the University will be hosting the 5th International Academic Conference on Taxation (CITN/KWASU 2022), which will take place from August 15th to 18th, 2022 at the same location.

Vice – chancellor, Professor Muhammed Mustapha Akanbi SAN, made the disclosure on Tuesday at the KWASU Business School in Ilorin, while greeting a delegation from the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (CITN), which paid him a courtesy visit at the university.

The Professor of Business Law, who pointed out that the KWASU is home to a Tax Academy, stated that the university is prepared to begin offering the career-oriented curriculum as soon as possible.

When asked about the University’s dedication to academic achievement, the Vice Chancellor remarked that the school offers a large variety of professional certificate programs that provide students with essential skills for future career progression and possibilities.

The University’s top legal official, on the other hand, reaffirmed the university’s readiness to host the CITN conference and pledged support to the institute, while also expressing optimism that the existing collaboration between the two institutions would be strengthened for the benefit of both parties.

Earlier, in his welcoming address, Professor Mubaraq Sanni, Director of the Institute for Professional and Continuous Education (IPCE) at KWASU, stressed the University’s commitment to developing professionalism via engagement with professional organizations.

The Minister complimented the Nigerian Institute of Taxation for its collaborative efforts with educational institutions and building a collaboration with KWASU in the pursuit of breeding professionals as well as the progress of the country’s tax system

Therefore, the Director invited CITN to collaborate in the fields of research, community development, entrepreneurship, and the interchange of human resources.

In his answer, the delegation’s chairman, Prof. Godwin Oyedokun, praised KWASU for serving as an ambassador for the Center for International Trade and Development (CITN), noting that the institute’s goals were successfully incorporated into the university.

His words informed KWASU of the Institute’s commitment to helping the university achieve greatness in academics and research, among other things.

The underlisted students are unable to be admitted into the courses they initially applied for at the Nigerian Army University, Borno because they have the improper JAMB subject combination and/or poor JAMB scores, as well as O’Level shortcomings, as explained above.

As a result, the university highly advises all students whose names appear on the following list to seriously consider switching to the courses that have been specifically recommended for them as soon as feasible.

The Governing Council of the First Technical University, Ibadan has nominated Professor Adesola Ajayi as the Vice-Chancellor to succeed Professor Ayobami Salami, who served as the university’s founding Vice-Chancellor.

The nomination comes as a result of the Council’s approval of the suggestion of the Joint Council and Senate Selection Board during its Special Meeting on Monday, March 7, 2022, which took place in Washington, DC. From the 9th of May in 2022, the appointment is for a single term of five (5) years and will take effect on the first day of May in that year.

Professor Ajayi was selected following a thorough selection process conducted in accordance with the university’s established regulations.

According to the vacancy announcement published in daily newspapers on the 6th of December 2021, eight Professors were shortlisted and invited to participate in an interview with the Joint Council-Senate Selection Board, which took place on the 2nd and 3rd of March 2022.

Vice-Chancellor Sola Ajayi is now serving as the Deputy Vice-Chancellor of First Technical University, where he has been appointed since January. He has the title of Professor of Crop Science. In 1991, he graduated with honors from the Faculty of Agriculture, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, with a B.Agric. in Plant Science (First Class Honours) and the top overall score in the school. His M.Phil. (Plant Science) degree with a concentration in Plant Breeding/Seed Production was achieved from the same institution in 1997.

He also holds a B.Sc. (Botany) degree from the same university. Doctor of Agricultural Science (Dr. sc. agr.) degree in Seed Biology from Christian Albrecht University, Kiel, Germany, was awarded to him by the university in 2003.

Ajayi has received a number of scholarships, fellowships, honours, and awards, the most notable of which are the Climate Impacts Research Capacity and Leadership Enhancement Programme (CIRCLE) Champion Award by CIRCLE Visiting Fellows (CVF), 2021; the Green Award by the National Association of Agricultural Students (NAAS, OAU, Ile-Ife) as the most-liked lecturer in the Department of Crop Production and Protection, OAU, Ile-Ife (1989).

As a visiting scholar at Pioneer Hi-bred International in Pandorf, Austria (2000-2002), and as a postdoctoral fellow at the Cell Biology Research Unit at the University of Natal in Durban, South Africa (2002-2003), he has a diverse background (2003-2005).

He is a well-known research leader with a broad range of expertise that includes extensive research and industry experience in the areas of seed systems and agricultural innovations and enterprise development; climate change impacts; value chain analysis; research management; and agricultural policy dialogue.

Currently, he has more than 70 publications in the form of journal articles, book chapters, conference papers, and research reports. He has received around 30 research and institutional development funds, including grants for mentoring Early Career Researchers (ECRs).

In addition to six PhD applicants, he has successfully supervised 17 MSc/MPhil candidates, as well as other final year student projects. A participant in several national, regional, and continental agricultural policy dialogues, he also facilitates national stakeholders’ meetings on topics such as the development of the seed sector, crop improvement, and increasing farmers’ income.

He has also served on the boards of several agricultural organizations. Having been a member of several professional organisations and associations for more than 28 years, Professor Ajayi is in high demand as a scientist, consultant, and resource person due to his extensive knowledge and expertise. He has completed more than 30 consulting engagements in the agricultural sector for a variety of development organizations and agencies both inside and outside Nigeria, mostly in the United States.

He received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. The University of Glasgow in Scotland and the Technical University of Munich in Germany are two institutions with whom he has active and ongoing research cooperation. Over the course of his career, he has taken part in about 100 academic conferences/meetings both inside and outside Nigeria, and he has delivered over 30 presentations at these gatherings.

Professor Ajayi has held a number of administrative posts in and outside of the university system that are related to his research. The Oke-Ogun Polytechnic, Saki, is now under his leadership as Chairman of the Governing Council. He formerly served as the first Deputy Vice-Chancellor (2018-date) and the first Director of Academic Planning and Partnerships (2017-2018) at the First Technical University, Ibadan.

He has served on a number of university committees, representing ASUU, Congregation, and Senate at various times. 2015-2016: He served on both the TETFund Standing Committee on Research and Development (2015) and the Executive Committee of Nigerian Baptist Convention (NBC) (2016-2020).

Professor Ajayi, who is 53 years old and is from Igbojaye in the Itesiwaju Local Government Area of Oyo State, is happily married to Ibiyemi Adeloyin Ajayi, with whom he has four children. Professor Ajayi is a professor at the University of Oyo.

Professor Ayobami Salami’s tenure as Pioneer Vice-Chancellor will come to an end on the 8th of May, 2022, when he will be succeeded by him.

This is to advise all new students that the University’s fifteenth (15th) Matriculation Ceremony has been scheduled for Wednesday, March 16, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. on all of the university’s campuses.

Students must pay the sum of #2,500 apiece to the Bursary (online) and provide proof of payment to the College Secretary in order for them to be eligible for the collecting of academic gowns on or before Tuesday, March 15, 2022, at the end of the working day.

Applicants should be aware that the Matriculation list legally concludes all admissions processes for the year, and anybody whose name is not on the Matriculation list should consider himself or herself to have secured a place for the following year.

Additionally, all matriculants are asked to sign the matriculation vows on their individual campuses, which is similar to the previous requirement.

Once again, I would like to emphasize that proper registration and payment of the relevant fees are prerequisites for graduation.
