The visit will feature the commissioning and formal handover of 50 buses and 10 tricycles donated to the university in October 2025 by the First Lady to improve campus transportation.
This comes on the backdrop of recent transportation challenges students have faced, most notably the long queues they experienced due to severe bus shortages.

The commissioning of the Dream Centre will be performed by the Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, adding royal significance to the event.
In anticipation of the visit, the university management has announced that heightened security and restricted movement will be enforced across the campus during the programme.
Staff and students have been urged to cooperate with security agencies, adhere strictly to official instructions, and maintain proper conduct throughout the visit.
