He said: “First, let me thank you for your support during my election. The Catholic community supported me 100 per cent and I know where the University is. I have had meetings and I believe it is the Teachers’ Institute that is located around that place. So, I have taken the road before and I am sure we need to do something and we will.”
Makinde, who maintained that his government will look into the institution’s request for a review of taxes imposed on it by the state’s Board of Internal Revenue, said the matter will be resolved in a win-win manner.
He said that his government would continue to do everything possible to ensure that businesses thrive in the state, noting that the recent efforts by the state government to upgrade the Ibadan Airport have begun to yield positive results.
Earlier, the Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Anthony Akinwale, commended the Makinde-led administration for making education and healthcare two of its topmost priorities.
