Though the charter of the University has City University, Ibadan as its name but due to several cases of mistaken identity and in order to avert corporate identity problem, the Board of Trustees and Council of the University had an extra-ordinary meeting on the 7th of March, 2005, and resolved to modify the name to read Lead City University, Ibadan. The change in name had been communicated to the Federal Ministry of Education, the National Universities Commission, Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and other stakeholders while all previous documents relating to City University, Ibadan remain valid. |
