The Vice-Chancellor stated that the decision was made to support both staff and students with disabilities, emphasizing that the institution's management believes everyone, regardless of ability, has the right to fully participate in all aspects of life.

He reaffirmed the university's dedication to creating an inclusive educational environment where every member of the university community actively participates in all aspects of campus life.

Prof. Jimoh also emphasised the institution's commitment to exploring innovative ways to enhance the experiences of staff and students with disabilities by providing accessible facilities across the campus, which include increased employment opportunities for sign language interpreters.
