Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has defended the decision to extend the tenure of the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan’s Osun State campus, Prof Clement Adebooye. The Governor stated that the continuation of Adebooye’s leadership is warranted by significant progress in institutional development and improvements in staff welfare.

The statement from the Governor’s office emphasizes that the decision was not made arbitrarily but was grounded in a review of the institution’s performance. By citing "development and workers’ welfare," Adeleke signaled that the administration prioritizes stability and continued growth for the university.
Prof Clement Adebooye serves as the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Osun State Campus, an institution that plays a critical role in higher education within the state.
