Tinubu, who was at the university on Thursday for the unveiling of the 2.7-kilometre Senator Oluremi Tinubu Way, reminisced about the beautiful landscape of the university campus while she was a student there years ago.

In a statement issued by the media aide to the First Lady, Busola Kukoyi, Mrs. Tinubu highlighted the need for regeneration and attributed the decline in the campus’s aesthetics to a poor maintenance culture.

“I will donate N1 billion for the OAU horticultural landscape to be restored. The campus used to be beautiful while I was here. Ife is crying out for help. It used to be a beautiful campus and the beauty must be restored,” she stated.

Speaking further, she restated that the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is one that is focused on education and youth development.

Mrs Tinubu noted that this is to ensure a more formidable future not only for the youth but the nation as well.

The road, a grand pavilion, and a monument on the OAU campus were donated by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and named in Mrs Tinubu’s honour.

Vanguard and The Punch confirmed in their publication.
