1.0 INTRODUCTORY BACKGROUND

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Right from time, food, clothing and shelter have been the three most basic requirement of man of all these three requirements, food and clothing are two which influence man’s life more than the house in which they seeks shelter, security comfort and dignity.

It is also a fact that sound property management policies and its proper implementation could make the difference. Social scientist and educational have shown great concern on the nature of relationship between staff and their working environment and they are unanimous on the fact that conducive environment has a positive bearing on the ability of a staff to perform all things being equal.

Thus, it is very important to mention that the main aim of property managers in the management of educational properties should be to enhance the welfare of both the students, teaching staff and other supporting staff by ensuring that these properties are designed, constructed and maintained in sound, functional aesthetic and structural condition.

Despite the billions of naira voted annually for the development and maintenance of these educational facilities. They are quite often poorly managed and this had led to the rapid deterioration of landed properties and infrastructure in most of our educational institutions.

At that time, seven new institutions were inaugurated, four of which started as full – fledged universities sited at Sokoto, Maiduguri, Jos and Calabar, while the rest became East while university college situated at Ilorin, Kano and Port – Harcourt.

The University College of Ilorin was initially affiliated to the University of Ibadan, T.N, Tamuno, Professor, and head of History at the University of Ibadan was appointed the first principal of the college. Shortly after Professor Tamuno’s appointment as principal of the college, he was appointed the vice – chancellor of the University of Ibadan. It therefore became necessary to appoint another principal in person of O.O. Akinkugbe, Professor of Medicine and former Dean of the faculty of Medicine University of Ibadan.

The new principal, Professor O.O. Akinkugbe made several visits to the second military Governor of Kwara State, Late Colonel Ibrahim Taiwo in connection with the new institution, such that by March 1975, he had established residence at Ilorin, in a relatively humble quarters, which also includes a three – bedroom guest chalet at 5, forest road G.R.A where the administrative work of the university was done. Initially, the entire staff consisted of two administrative officers, one driver and one clerk/typist.

Almost immediately, staff recruitment began in earnest, and by July 1976, a sizeable number of academic, administrative and technical staff had been assembled for the take – off. Soon afterwards, the administration moved to a slightly more spacious location at Sabo Oke.

The support given to the fledgling institution by Governor Taiwo continued under the third military Governor of the state, Brigadier George Innih, now a retired Major General, who ceded a portion of the temporary site of Kwara State College of Technology to her. In October, 1977, the institution attained full autonomous status and has since developed by leaps and bounds. It has extended it’s expansion and development programmes to the main campus of the university, about eight kilometers east of Ilorin city. The main campus currently houses the faculties of Science, Engineering and Technology, Agriculture, The preclinical arm of the faculty of Health science, The Unilorin sugar research institute, The Post Graduate School, The central administration Building and works department. The mini – campus presently house the faculties of Arts, Business and Social Science, Education and Health Sciences (Clinical).
