‎The VC who said this during the inauguration of the centre, NOUN Offa Community Study Centre in Offa, said that it is the seventh of such centre, facilitated through communal efforts in Nigeria.

Professor Tenebe particularly commended the sole efforts of Olofa of Offa, Oba Mustapha Gbadamosi for making the study centre a reality for the people of Offa and the environs to benefit from and urged other traditional rulers across the country to emulate such gestures.

He invited all capable communities to partner with NOUN in its quest to bring tertiary education to the grassroots.
