The owa Obokun of Ijesaland says posterity will never forget governor Adegboyega Oyetola for allowing himself to be used by God to grand the age long desire of the Ijesas to have a university.
Oba Gabriel Adekunle Aromolaran stated this when he led over 30 beaded crown - ijesa traditional rulers on a thank you visit to the governor in his office.
Oba Aromolaran prayed that God would give the governor long life to enjoy the benefits of his kindness and truthfulness.
According to the highly revered paramount ruler , governor Oyetola has written his name in gold as far as Ijesa history is concerned .
Earlier , the Asiwaju of Ijesaland, chief Yinka Fasuyi remarked that governor Oyetola has removed the over 40 year stigma of retrogression and ancestral shame from the land with the upgrade of the Osun State College of Education to University of Ilesa
Asiwaju Fasuyi assured the state government that ijesa would continue to give the institution a huge financial support as they did during its gestation period.
In a response, governor Oyetola expressed gratitude to the ijesas for their impressive disposition to development of the state through self help and multi million naira community projects, including the over one billion naira Ijesa Geriatric Centre.
Governor Oyetola explained that he approved the upgrade of the college of education after the state government forfeited its joint ownership right of Ladoke Akintola University, because the ijesas have proven beyond doubt that they would support government in funding the school.
According to him the ijesas have promised to support the university with one billion naira annually for a period of ten years apart from the one billion naira graciously donated to it by an illustrious son of the land which spreads over three years
