He said, “For those pressurizing me, admission for 2025/2026 academic session has closed. We have done the admission, students have resumed. For recruitment of staff, in December, the names of people who were successful in the recruitment exercise was taken to council and council had approved it.
People, who are still looking for job in FUTES are advised to look elsewhere for now or wait for next available opportunity. We followed due process on this appointment, we advertised, we received applications, we did interviews.
The university has been able to recruit top scholars. This university will be global and competitive globally. We have concluded admission and recruitment, don’t trouble the VC for these again for now.”
Aribisala said FUTES was designed to produce students who will make meaningful societal impact in technology and provide solutions to unemployment and environmental challenges.
“We are ready to deliver quality education to our students, which will make them a class of people who are safe from unemployment. I want to commend our staff and students. The newly recruited staff have quickly adjusted and have been active and supportive, making the students comfortable
The first lecture will hold on Monday by God’s grace. We appreciate the contributions of President Bola Tinubu; the Senate Leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele; the Minister of Education, Dr Olatunji Alausa; traditional leaders and religious leaders for their support at times,” he further noted.
He disclosed that Tinubu had approved take-off grants for FUTES to fund projects.
“We have identified the projects. The projects will commence next month. In addition, on Tertiary Trust Fund intervention projects to develop institutions, our university has been considered. These projects will be sited on the permanent site,” he said.
The VC reiterated the institution’s commitment to the welfare of staff and students.
“We have a transportation policy, as soon as possible, we are going to make transport available. That we make it easy for staff and students to come from different areas to the university. The university that we envisaged and have started is a fully residential one.
We are here to mould students, not only in education, but character,” the VC further stated.
Aribisala cautioned that the university would not tolerate cultism, unregistered associations or groups, night parties, clubbing, or other activities that could tarnish the institution’s reputation. He also called for support from individuals and corporate organisations in developing the university.
