US Transparency International Standards (USTIS) ranks AAUA Best state university in Nigeria ...FULL story Inside!

The US Transparency International Standards, USTIS, has ranked Adekunle Ajasin University,
Akungba Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria, the best State University in Nigeria.
The result was contained in the preliminary results from the USTIS 2013 Coordinated Nigeria Schools' Survey, the world body's school ranking initiative.

Only last month, AAUA came first nationally in the 2013 Annual Youth Debate for Nigerian Tertiary Institutions organized by the Federal Ministry of Education.

The National University Commission voted AAUA the Best State University in 2005 in terms of the quality of academic staff after carrying out its
(NUC's) carrying-capacity survey that year.
AAUA has, from 2011, had 100 per cent accreditation of its programmes by the National Universities Commission to date! Adekunle Ajasin University came into world reckoning following the strategic initiative of the
incumbent Vice Chancellor, Professor Femi Mimiko, who built the plank of his administration on "building a 21st century University, properly called!." Through the initiative, the University
which relocated to a temporary site in 1999, has become an infrastructure and academic haven. Between 2010 when Professor Mimiko took office
and now, the University has taken delivery of over 60 projects as a deliberate attempt to address the acute challenges of space.

The University championed merit-driven admission and staff appointment policies in Nigeria to shore up the integrity of its
programmes. In his reaction, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Femi Mimiko, expressed appreciation to God for
allowing the modest contributions of his administration to attract world recognition.
"It is really a thing of joy that our modest contributions to educational development and humanity have attracted attention and recognition. As a University, we give all the glory
to God. I would also like to appreciate the Visitor to the University and Governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, for the robust support he
accorded and continues to accord the University.
"I cannot thank the University immediate past Council under the leadership of the Pro Chancellor and Chairman of Council, Barrister
Dan Nwanyanwu, OFR, mni, enough for direction and support.
"Words are inadequate to thank the staff and students of the University for their priceless contributions to the attainment of this feat. I dedicate this achievement to them."
