‎The Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of Fountain University, Dr. Awa Ibraheem, has donated a newly completed 600-seater Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Hub to the institution.

‎Meanwhile an Islamic human rights organization, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has hailed Dr. Awa Ibraheem for his generous gesture. In a statement issued on Monday, 27th April, 2026, the group urged other wealthy Nigerians to emulate Dr. Awa Ibraheem by supporting educational institutions.

‎The full statement reads:

‎”Fountain University, Oshogbo, became one giant building richer in infrastructure on Wednesday, 22nd April, 2026 when the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the institution’s Governing Council, Dr. Awa Ibraheem, donated a newly completed 600-seater Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Hub to the citadel of learning.

‎“MURIC commends Dr. Awa Ibraheem for this philanthropic gesture. Although Nigerians already know the donor for his selflessness, kindness and unequalled generosity, the ICT hub in Fountain University is primus inter pareil. This infrastructure will go a long way in strengthening digital education in the institution.

‎”We charge other wealthy Nigerians to emulate Dr. Awa Ibraheem who is always prepared to give to the needy and towards meaningful development. We implore them to rise to the occasion by giving back to the society particularly by supporting educational institutions.

‎”We advise the Vice Chancellor of Fountain University, Prof. Ramota Olayinka Karim in particular and others around the country to engage in robust interaction between town and gown in order to attract funding from wealthy Nigerians.”
