Who we are

Advancement Centre

The University system in Nigeria was founded as a government sponsored enterprise and supported largely with grants from Federal and State governments. The charging of tuition fees being proscribed by government policy, universities have had to rely almost entirely on government funding.

In recent decades however, government's ability to provide adequate funding for university has been greatly eroded. The economic downturn resulting from economic mismanagement, the changing world order and globalization, have led to a gradual realization that government will not be able to fully fund its universities

.

Having considered means of raising the much-needed funds without recourse to tuition fees, universities have adopted various means which include the establishment of Development/Advancement Offices. The Advancement Office of the University of Ibadan was established in July 2004

Our results speaks

For over six decades, the University of Ibadan has been transforming lives as Nigeria’s foremost innovative and enterprising University. As the flagship of tertiary education, our reputation has gone beyond national and International boundaries.

The evidence of this lies in the creativity of our numerous alumni whose achievements have continued to attract national and International accolades while we honour the past and celebrate the present, we also look into the future with a resolve to sustain the UI legacy of excellence through the realization of the UI Vision.

TO BE A WORLD-CLASS INSTITUTION FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE GEARED TOWARDS MEETING SOCIETAL NEEDS

We acknowledge this is a daunting challenge but with the support of our alumni and friends, we know it is realizable.

With your gifts we will be able to expand the knowledge base of our students, explore new areas of research and increase the ability to help Nigeria realize its vision.

You can leave a gift to UI in your will, or leave a monument in the university to immortalize yourself, or a loved one. And by instituting a scholarship, you will be helping us to open our doors to brilliant and indigent students who ordinarily would have been barred from university education as a result of socio-economic background.

INVOLVING THE ALUMNI

University Advancement Centre was established in July 2004 and was saddled with the responsibility of enhancing the University reputation in order to generate extraordinary levels of support for University of Ibadan’s Strategic goals and priorities.

We realized that we can’t handle the task alone; there is a need to build a relationship with University of Ibadan Alumni. For over six decades, the University of Ibadan has helped in the transformation of many Nigerians at various level of education, by giving them the right foundation which enables them compete with their counterparts anywhere in the world, the evidence of this lies in the creativity of our numerous alumni whose outstanding performance can be see both nationally and internationally.

We desire to build a relationship between the alumni and the University thereby providing a platform for our alumni to join our course as we also look into the future with a resolve to sustain the UI legacy of excellence through the realization of the institution’s Vision
