According to the University Orator, and Chairman, Committee of Deans and Director of the university, Prof. Gbenga Ibileye, “Our latest superlative ranking is a testament to the value of the limitless power of qualitative and focused leadership. On assumption of office, the VC had committed to a vision that would make FUL the best among the 12 (or 13) newly established federal universities in Nigeria. Although we reposed absolute confidence in the capacity of the VC to achieve this lofty goal, we least expected that it would be this quick. Within ten short months of his administration, Professor Akinwumi has turned around the fortunes of FUL dramatically and positively.The ranking also shows unequivocally the power of teamwork and cooperation. It shows that if we agree on a thing and we work cooperatively, we will achieve it.
