Prof. Ajayi said this during a press conference to herald the 7th Convocation and 10th Anniversary of the establishment of the institution scheduled for December 16, 2015.

He also  called for the extension of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) to private universities across the country.

His words:“Rather than approving the establishment of more universities, the government should strengthen and expand the facilities in the universities by increasing their funding.”

Ajayi however appealed to the Education Minister to prevail on the government to come to the aid of the privately owned universities in the country.
