Obafemi Awolowo University: Things you should know about the School
Obafemi Awolowo University, formerly the University of Ife, is located at the heart of Ile-Ife, Osun state.

OAU lecturers are top notch. Till date, the university stands tall with one of the highest numbers of professors in the country, a feat matched only by University of Ibadan and University of Lagos. The standard of education in OAU is widely regarded as one of the best in Nigeria. Although internal strikes and random commotions among students still disturb the flow and rhythm of the university once a while, it still maintains and follows standard academic calendar.
OAU has a history of chaos though, with lots of internal strikes and Student Union issues having distorted academic sessions in the past. This remains the main stain in this university’s garment till date. Although the school is now more settled and less of issues like these have been experienced, some people still fear unnecessary “alutas” might still affect the flow and rhythm of the school
