The Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Prof. Babatunde Kehinde, has pledged the University’s full support for the successful take-off of the newly established Federal University of Medicine and Medical Sciences, Abeokuta (FUMMSA).
Prof. Kehinde gave the assurance during a courtesy visit by the Governing Council of FUMMSA to FUNAAB today, April 8, 2025.
Welcoming the delegation, the Vice-Chancellor reaffirmed FUNAAB’s commitment to providing infrastructural, academic and administrative support to ensure a smooth and seamless beginning for the fledgling medical university.
Reflecting on FUNAAB’s transformation from the University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (UNAAB), Prof. Kehinde explained that the change in the name of the University to reflect
Federal was a strategic decision guided by its enabling law. He noted that the insight could serve as a valuable reference for FUMMSA as it charts its own developmental course.
In his response, the Vice-Chancellor of FUMMSA, Prof. Abiola Arogundade, expressed profound appreciation to Prof. Kehinde and the FUNAAB Management for their warm reception and willingness to collaborate. He described the support as a timely intervention that would significantly ease the foundational phase of FUMMSA’s establishment and operations.
Accompanying Prof. Arogundade were key members of FUMMSA’s Governing Council, including the Chairman, Dr. Usman Mohammed; Council members, Hon. Joshua Adewale and Hon. Kabiru Yahaya; Registrar, Dr. Olukayode Obayomi; Bursar, Mrs. Olufunso Adedokun; and the University Librarian, Dr. Idayat Agboola
