The founder and Proprietor, Judge Bola Ajibola expressed his gratification with the education plus of the University, noting that the certificates had been awarded to graduands because they had excelled in both learning and character.

Recounting the achievements of the university, Ajibola expressed that ” part of the second visit of the NUC to our university commended the good behaviour of our students. The accreditation panel members acknowledged the cool-headedness and polite greetings from our students wherever the NUC officials met them on campus”.

Prof Okeleye said “Crescent University is not relenting in her efforts for meaningful linkages with national and foreign universities.

Okeleye also noted that the proposed College Medical and Health Sciences was to address the dearth of Muslims in the medical and health professions adding that there was great demand for such courses.
He called on parents and guardians to counsel their wards on the need to be law-abiding and focus on their studies while on campus, adding that the university’s zero tolerance for examination malpractice, indecent dressing, cultism and all other anti-social vices was still in force.
