Dear mr vice chancellor of Obafemi Awoliwo university. Sir forget about the cost but let's know what it would cost to make your universty one of the top ten in the world then we work towards it. Let's have the figures. Prior to covid-19 its said Africa needs 100 universities the size of Havard universty. OAU can be one of those universities. You never know there might be a vartan Gregorian in nigerian skin or just another vartan Gregorian coming to change the face of OA U. The good news is that reputation is not everything if we are to go by Professor Ayo Banjo in his autobiography. Morning after morning MIT not yet 150 years old came tops on the world where 500 year old Glasgow University as attended by Banjo was distant to MIT.there is hope. Brown universty used to be an obscure institution. Sir let's have the figures and break down thanks #iferestorationandrenewal in anticipation
