EKITI STATE TO SUPPORT EKSU IN SPORTS DEVELOPMENT

The Ekiti State Sports Council has promised to support the Ekiti State University in the provision of sporting facilities which would encourage students to participate actively in sports and consequently improve the rating of Ekiti State in national sporting competitions.

The Chairman of the Sports Council, Mr. Ade Adetola made the promise when
he led a delegation of the Board and Management of the Council on
a courtesy visit to the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor E. Dada
Adelowo.

Mr. Adetola said that it was imperative for the Management of the University to develop a sports complex in order to realise this lofty objective. He identified some of the areas of need in the institution's sports complex as provision of sitting terrace, grassing the pitch and provision of a hall for indoor games. He added  that with such facilities, young men and women would develop more interest in sports.

Prof. Adelowo, who again, used the opportunity of the occasion to express appreciation to Governor Fayemi for his appointment as Acting Vice-Chancellor promised that  he would contribute his quota to sports development in the state.

He said the University was planning to construct a fence round its sports complex, and would welcome the contributions of the Sports Council in the development of sports in the University.  Prof.  Adelowo who was a former goalkeeper in his youthful years promised that the University would continue to encourage sporting activities in the University  in order to arrest restiveness among students.

EKSU TO HOST UNIVERSITY/PARENTS FORUM

As part of the efforts by the Ekiti State University to improve on the existing relationship between parents and the University community, a Parents / University forum will soon begin in the institution.

The intention is to provide a avenue for interaction before the University and Parents  where issues bordering on the welfare of the students would be discussed. The Acting Vice-Chancellor, Prof. E. Dada Adelowo explained that this would also go a long way in providing the parents with a knowledge of the conducts and performances of their wards in the institution.  He dropped  this hint while addressing the senior staff of the institution recently.

The Acting Vice-Chancellor added that the forum would also provide an avenue for the parents and guardians to understand how the University system works. He also stressed that the forum would help in cut-tailing  lawlessness among the students.

Professor Adelowo pointed out that parents would also be able to know the status of the studentship of their wards as well as understand the mode of payment of fees in the University .
