“My initial plan was to setup a new university within the Kingdom, I realized from NCC that it’s very difficult to get another university close to Oduduwa University and Obafemi Awolowo University.
“But Kabiesi, you can set up a satellite Campus from University you are part of including University of Nigeria, Nsukka that you the Chancellor. I said, okay, that make sense. Then, I would go all the way to support a Private Sector University that I belong to. And I will speed off another University that has Satelite Campus in Ife.

“And I want to assure you today that the reality has actually come to pass. We have another campus in Ife that is ongoing that is Ojaja University, Ife Campus. Very soon, we will call each one of you to be part of it.
“For me, it’s a legacy. Kabiesi, Orangun of Ila, with all due respect, I thank you. He is always talking to me. Everybody say Kaaabiesi o.
“He would say, Kabiesi Ojaja, please, there is no amount of houses you build, no amount of industries you set up, you need to look for things that are of legacy. He was not burdening me, it was out of love and passion.
“I want to use this opportunity to thank you. The day I told him I have danced to his tune, he said this is what I have been talking to you. This is it. Kabiesi, you are my father because you sit on my father’s throne. I came to this earth before you. He prayed one prayer but I wouldn’t pray the prayer. My prayer is that we will live long together”.
