“Ajayi Crowther University has given us a good foundation and contributed immensely to who we are today.
“We believe that one of the best ways to appreciate this institution is to give back and support its growth.
“The donation of these 1,000 chairs is our modest contribution towards improving the learning environment and ensuring that students have access to basic facilities that will make their academic experience more comfortable and productive,” Ogunlade said.
He further emphasised that the relationship between an institution and its alumni should go beyond graduation.
He said former students should support the vision, progress and sustainability of their alma mater responsibly.
“We want our members to understand that alumni engagement is not just about reunions and networking; it is also about service, responsibility and contributing to the development of the institution that moulded us.
“We hope this gesture will encourage more alumni to identify with the university and support its various developmental initiatives,” he added.
The alumni association also commended the institute’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ebunoluwa Oduwole, for her leadership and commitment to the university’s continued growth and development.
“We appreciate the Vice-Chancellor for her dedication, purposeful leadership and efforts towards moving Ajayi Crowther University forward.
“We are proud to identify with the progress being made under her administration and look forward to strengthening our partnership with the university management,” Ogunlade said.
