 Olanrewaju Lawal


Dear Matriculants, allow me to extend my heartfelt congratulations on your admission into Obafemi Awolowo University, renowned as the greatest among the best. You have earned this achievement and deserve to be celebrated for it.


You are embarking on a journey toward greater heights and are among the fortunate few who have gained entry into this revered institution where academics and culture are intricately woven together. Since its inception, Obafemi Awolowo University has remained a bastion of academic excellence, nurturing brilliant minds and producing distinguished graduates who contribute significantly across various fields globally.


Among its notable alumni are Femi Falana, a renowned legal luminary; Chief Afe Babalola, founder of Afe Babalola University; and Adebayo Adelabu, the current Minister of Power and Energy. These individuals exemplify excellence and uphold the university's legacy of producing world-class leaders.


As you celebrate this defining moment in your life, remember that this is just the first step on your journey. Like a hiker preparing to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro, you will face challenges along the way. Reaching your goals requires resilience, focus, and determination.


Your journey will have its share of joys and challenges. Success—especially academic excellence—demands dedication and sacrifice. As Napoleon Hill said, “Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice.” Be prepared to give your best to achieve your goals.


You may soon hear the phrase “Shege Pro Max,” humorously coined by students to describe the academic rigors at Great Ife. While challenges exist, there are also numerous opportunities available for you. Stay focused on your purpose and approach your academics with seriousness while enjoying campus life wisely.


As you embark on this journey, keep your goals clear before you. Let them inspire you toward academic excellence, bringing honor to your name and pride to your family.


With heartfelt congratulations, I welcome you to Obafemi Awolowo University—Oba Àwon University. May your time here be filled with joy, fulfillment, and success. Welcome to a land of greatness!
