The Chancellor of Edo University Iyamoh , Mr. Aderemi Makanjuola has commended the University for announcing a prize of N5 million prize for any graduate with the best entrepreneurial proposal.

Speaking in a similar manner, acting Pro-Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Emeritus Kimbe Audu hailed the vision of the founding fathers of the institution in establishing a university that would be a model for the 21th Century.
“I see Edo State redefining education in Nigeria. It is with this sense that I accept the offer from His Excellency, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, to be the first Chancellor of this great institution of higher learning. “I am aware that all the programmes in the university have passed through the National Universities Commission assessment and accreditation with a minimum of 82 per cent; far above the NUC benchmark of 70 per cent required for full accreditation status. This is indicative of the fact that the university is blessed with a team of dedicated lecturers and administrative members of staff that are first among equals,” he said.
