Dr. Soyele is also planning to construct a new Administrative Office for the school during his tenure.
According to him, the new Administrative Office will not only afford more offices for staffs of the school but would also ensure that top administrative officers are housed together in one block to allow for administrative convenience.
Also on the list of programs to be accomplished by the provost to make the college stands out among its peers is the reintroduction of a strong culture of maintenance as he intends to keep every facility in the school slick and span in working order.
To this end, the old Theatre Hall of the college which had been abandoned for some time because a new one was built is now to undergo renovation and conversion to “Post-Graduate Studies Hall”.
Dr. Soyele said the intended pristine order would also be extended to the staff quarters and the student hostels as facelifts and improvements would be periodically accorded to all infrastructures in the school, noting that inclusive are road constructions, mending of fence, clearing of bushes among others.
