When private philanthropy is combined with the public good, especially in higher education, the impacts are far-reaching, and the benefits are for everyone, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.
 
Prof. Osinbajo stated this at the commissioning of the N350 million Kensington Adebukunola Adebutu Foundation (KAAF) Auditorium, Department Of Human Nutrition And Dietetics, at the University of Ibadan, Oyo State. He also spoke at the University College Hospital in the same town where he commissioned significant rehabilitation projects. 
 
According to the Vice President, the commissioning at the University of Ibadan highlighted two important things -  "relevant ideation, research and teaching, and the power of philanthropy in supporting development ideas." 
 
Noting that "the most advanced nations on earth have the best universities," Prof. Osinbajo said "they all indeed have traditions of investment in research, and the best examples are those countries where private and public investment in education is robust. Research in those best practice countries is directed at solving health, technology, engineering,  and many societal problems."
