the years, the unfavorable military administrations and

(i) The Office of Partnerships
(ii) The Office of Research Management
(iii) The Office of Academic Exchange
In future on this site,
you will find information on
 An
alumni database which will include the list of honorary
graduates
Databess
of Friends of OAU, to be made up of those who, in particular,
have had interactions with the University,
either as Faculty Staff or visitor as well as those who
may wish to identify with what the university
stands for.
