Who composed Obafemi Awolowo University anthem and when was it composed?
The Obafemi Awolowo University anthem was composed in June 1992 at the Hezekiah Oluwasanmi Library. This year, OAU will be celebrating 29 years of composing the Great Ife Anthem.
The man who composed the Obafemi Awolowo University Anthem was an Alumni of the school whose name is Mr Olasupo Ojo. He was actually a 500 level law student then.
This song was widely accepted by the Students and the SUG. Since then, it has been in the mouths of Great Ife Students. This is how it goes.
Great Ife (2ce)
Africa's most beautiful campus.
Conscious, vigilant, progressive,
Aluta against all oppression,
Forward ever, backward never,
For learning and culture,
Sport and struggle,
Great Ife, I love you.
There is only one Great Ife in the universe.
Another Great Ife is a counterfeit, great, great, great, great, great!!!
