Yaba College was transferred to Ibadan, becoming the University College of Ibadan, in 1948. The university was founded on its own site on 17 November 1948. In late 1963, on the university playing-fields, with a celebration marked by talking drums, the Rt. Hon.

The first Nigerian vice chancellor of the university was Kenneth Dike, after whom the University of Ibadan's library is named. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of Ibadan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
