Over 7,000 prospective students are scrambling for the 500 slots at the Federal University, Oye Ekiti.

The VC said the university needs about N1.5 billion to provide facilities in the Faculty of Engineering.
The Professor of Veterinary Medicine, said  a committee had been raised to reach out to corporate bodies and international organizations to be able to actualize the target.
He said the mandated Entrepreneurial courses  being offered by the
students of the University , was meant to correct the impression
being at local and international  levels that Nigerian graduates are employable.

 “ For the faculty of Engineering to be a world class or 21st century  Faculty, we will need up to N1.5 billion particularly to provide the best  Laboratory that will offer our students the best learning process. We cannot rely on government alone and that is why we are reaching out to private bodies”.
