appointment would develop further and enable the monarch to build more bridges
of friendship most especially across the Niger,” he said.
Mr.
Olafare commended President Buhari for recognising the Ooni’s efforts in
promoting peace, unity among Nigerians.
He
noted that Ogunwusi was ready to bring to bear his influence and connections to
promote unity and harmonious working relationships in the university.

ensure speedy development rather than playing up their differences.
”
It is incontrovertible today that Ooni Ogunwusi is a bridge builder and being
the youngest chancellor appointed for the only university bearing ‘Nigeria’ is
worth the celebration,” he said.
