Convocation and Campus Expansion

For the first time, UNIMED held its convocation at its main campus in December 2024. What a milestone! But the good news didn’t stop there.

It’s like UNIMED was saying, “We’re here, we’re growing, and we’re not slowing down!”

Honoring Excellence and Leadership

During a special convocation ceremony, UNIMED awarded its first honorary degrees to the Osemawe & paramount ruler of the Ondo Kingdom, Oba Dr. Victor Adesimbo Kiladejo Jilo III, CFR, who was also installed as the university’s first chancellor. This is what happens when excellence meets leadership!

Record-Breaking Admissions and Awards

Celebrating a Decade of Excellence

UNIMED wrapped up the year with the celebration of its 10th anniversary. It was a testament to what strategic focus, dedication, and collaboration can achieve. The event was described as a “crowning moment” in the university’s history, proving that when people work together, amazing things happen. It’s all about teamwork, folks!

The ‘Accuser’ and the Power of Resilience

Despite facing attempts to derail the institution, the university leadership focused on their goals and refused to be deterred. They credited divine intervention, stating that their community focused on the vision and mission, rather than the distractions from the so called “accuser”. UNIMED proved that no amount of negativity can stop true progress when people are dedicated and united.

Looking Ahead

What does the future hold for UNIMED? If 2024 is any indication, it’s going to be nothing short of amazing. This university has shown that with resilience, teamwork, and a clear vision, anything is possible. Keep an eye on UNIMED; they’re just getting started!
