Vice-Chancellor, Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology (OAUSTECH), Okitipupa, Prof. Temi Ologunorisa, has called on the Ondo State Oil Producing Area Development Commission (OSOPADEC) to build a School of Maritime Transport and Logistic for the University.
A statement by the university’s spokesman, Mr Paul Adeagbo, said that he made the appeal on Thursday while addressing a gathering of political bigwigs, traditional rulers, technocrats, religious and opinion leaders, the old and the youths at a Town hall Meeting with Stakeholders organised by OSOPADEC and held at Williams Events Hall, Igbokoda, Ilaje Local Government Area of the state.
Ologunorisa, a world-class Professor of Environmental Science and Climate Change, told his audience and the leadership of the Commission that the School will be of great benefit to the people of the area and of big advantage to the teeming population of youth in the area and the Country at large.
The proposed School, he said, would be located within Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State, because of its closeness to the ocean. This, he noted will also be of competitive advantage to the University.
According to him, courses to be taught at the School will include B. Sc Port Management, B.Sc Shipping, B.Sc Nautical Science, and B.Sc Maritime Transport among others.
He also stated that the School will run short term programmes that will lead to the award of certificates and diploma in ICT Management and other related courses.
