The Olugbo of Ugbo Kingdom, Oba Frederick Obateru Akinruntan, has said Lead City University, Ibadan is the best in Nigeria and Africa.
Oba Akinruntan stated this while speaking with journalists recently at the university during an event.
The monarch said: “I’ve seen the track record of Lead City University. I rate the university as the best in Nigeria. The university has done a lot of good things to Nigeria; it is very fine in academia. So, I have that honour, the privilege and authority to say Lead University is number one in Nigeria and Africa, even in the world.
“I’ll tell you one thing today, I was in one of the universities in Britain, I was applying for a course, when they saw the degree from the Lead University, they said this is one of the best universities in Nigeria. Although I didn’t go further because I’m getting very old now. If Britain could say one of the best universities in Nigeria, that’s why I have the authority to pronounce it to the whole world.
“As far as this country is concerned, Lead City University is the best and number one, quote me”.
