The Chairman of Moba Local Government, Hon.

In a statement, Hon. Fadugba praised the collaborative efforts of the state government and EKSU, anticipating the contributions of the part-time programmes to the social and economic development of the community.
He noted that the creation of the satellite campus, located within the Moba Grammar School in Otun-Ekiti, would provide educational opportunities for residents, including working professionals, who might otherwise face challenges accessing higher education.
Hon. Fadugba also emphasized the economic boost the campus is expected to bring, from the creation of job opportunities to the growth of local businesses serving students and faculty.
He urged all eligible candidates in Moba and surrounding areas to take advantage of the current admission opportunities, as EKSU has already opened applications for various academic programmes at the Otun-Ekiti campus.
The Moba LG Boss, also encouraged prospective students to explore the admission options available and noted that EKSU’s part-time programmes were designed to accommodate those who wish to balance their studies with work or family responsibilities.
“We are immensely grateful to Governor Biodun Oyebanji and the management of EKSU for bringing this laudable project to Moba. This campus will not only empower our youth and adult learners but will also attract significant investments that will benefit our community’s economy and improve livelihoods,” Hon. Fadugba said.
