Prof. Olayemi Akinwumi,VC,FULokoja.
February 15, 2021, marked the beginning of a new era as Professor Olayemi Akinwumi assumed office as the Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University Lokoja (FUL). Stepping into his role amidst a divided institution and challenges with ASUU, Professor Akinwumi faced the daunting task of revitalizing a university that languished in the lower echelons of academic recognition.

Upon his appointment, FUL consisted of only eleven fully functional, resource-verified, and accredited programmes in two faculties with other new programmes struggling to gain resource verification and accreditation from the National Universities Commission, (NUC). Undeterred by the initial setbacks, Professor Akinwumi embarked on a relentless journey of transformation.

In just six (6) months, through unwavering dedication and strategic marketing efforts, FUL met and surpassed the vision of its founding fathers and emerged as a leader among the 12 Federal Universities established during the tenure of former President Goodluck Jonathan. Under Professor Akinwumi’s stewardship, academic culture and traditions were revitalized, with inaugural lectures soaring from a mere two (2) in a decade to an impressive 16 within three (3) years.

Beyond academic excellence, Professor Akinwumi’s tenure has been marked by a proactive approach to infrastructure development. Leveraging personal connections and networks, he attracted multimillion-naira projects to enhance every aspect of university life, from road networks to state-of-the-art facilities.

His ability to cultivate relationships with globally acclaimed personalities has further elevated FUL’s profile, with distinguished public lectures and generous donations pouring in to support the University’s growth trajectory.
