Mr. Olujimi Olukoya is the Registrar of University of Ibadan. Soft-spoken and highly cerebral university administrator, Olukoya, is apparently the youngest registrar the premier university has ever had. Before berthing in Ibadan, the member of Financial Planning Association and Nigerian Institute of Management (FPA, NIM), who holds a first and Master’s degrees in Educational Planning and Administration from the University of Ilorin (Unilorin) had worked severally in his old school, the Lagos State College of Education, Ijanikin and Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo, from where he left as the registrar. Engaging Olukoya in an interview is a seminar on higher educational management and a window into the world of a humble, God-fearing personality who believes that leadership is not about taking credits, but giving credits to the team of subordinates that makes things happen. He also speaks on his experience as the registrar, the challenges and why UI has been relatively tension free among many other issues.
