The Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Consortium of Universities in Kwara State (KU8+), Prof. Ishaq Olanrewaju Oloyede has challenged universities in the state to be the state’s “developmental brain box” by proffering research-driven solutions to the state’s economic and social challenges.
The immediate past Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) made the call in a goodwill message at the weekend during the opening of the Fourth KU8+Conference at Summit University, Offa.
He appealed to the universities to pool their expertise to transform agriculture, resuscitate dying industries and provide the government with objective advice on policies that can lead to sustainable development.
Mr Oloyede said that universities should be apolitical and give independent and objective advice to governments, which he said was a sanitizing role.
He remembered when he was Vise Chancellor of the University of Ilorin and he was offered an appointment as a Presiding Officer in a national election, but he declined because he believed that universities should remain neutral and be available to mediate when political actors disagree.
He called for collaboration among the KU8+ institutions in developing innovative solutions that will enhance agricultural productivity and economic growth, noting that Kwara is home to several Federal Government institutions with mandates in the agricultural sector.
Among them are Agricultural and Rural Management Training Institute (ARMTI), Nigerian Stored Products Research Institute (NSPRI), Lower Niger River Basin Development Authority, National Center for Agricultural Mechanization (NCAM), Faculty of Agriculture, and others.
Oloyede said agriculture is one of the state’s greatest strengths and the concentration of agricultural institutions presents an opportunity for the universities to develop solutions to the challenges facing the sector.

He also mourned the collapse of major industries in the state such as Bacita Sugar Company, Jebba Paper Mill and Tobacco Company.
Oloyede urged the universities to use research and innovation to revive such industries and reinvent the state’s economy.
He said universities should be helping governments to plan for the future by coming up with new ideas and practical solutions to emerging challenges, rather than just reacting to events.
The former JAMB Registrar commended the Vise Chancellor of the University of Ilorin and Chairman of KU8+ Prof. Wahab Olasupo Egbewole for establishing the consortium.
He said the consortium was an initiative of the Egbewole administration contrary to claims in some quarters that he was the founder of KU8+. “My tenure as a vise chancellor saw the University of Ilorin pioneer some earlier collaborative initiatives like AWAU and U6+”.
Oba Mufutau Gbadamosi Esuwoye II, the Olofa of Offa, also spoke and congratulated the organizers, describing KU8+ as a laudable initiative that was redefining collaboration among universities in the state.
He lauded the university leaders for coming together to promote educational development and expressed hope that the collaboration would help Kwara produce some of the best students in Nigeria thru shared programs and initiatives.
However, the second lead paper presenter, Emeritus Professor of Science Education, Olugbemiro Jegede, called on KU8+ members to improve collaboration thru a credit transfer system that would allow for smooth movement of students among the member institutions.
Jegede also proposed that staff and students exchange programs, joint degree awards, and collaborative teaching and research initiatives be implemented to achieve greater academic integration among the universities.
He suggested a consortium-wide Learning Management System (LMS), virtual campuses, shared high performance computing facilities and cloud infrastructure as one academic ecosystem.
He said pooling resources would reduce unnecessary duplication, enhance efficiency and extend access to quality teaching, learning and research facilities across member universities.
’Academic integrity, technological innovation, evidence-based practices and institutional collaboration would determine the future of higher education, Jegede said.
He urged universities to break the silos by connecting research, teaching and community engagement to create a vibrant and inclusive higher education system that can drive national development.
