Printing & publishing
OAU Press
The University's printing and publishing house, producing books, journals and corporate print for the University and external clients.
OAU Press began in 1968 as an arm of the University Registry, supporting the editorial work of the University Senate through its Publications Committee. In 1977 it became a full book publishing company, so that it could operate as a business while continuing to advance the academic work of the University.
Since 2008 the Press has been part of Obafemi Awolowo University Investment Company Limited. Its mandate is to meet the University's printing needs and to retain those funds within the University system, while also serving clients beyond the campus.
In recent years the company has added printing, binding and finishing equipment to expand the work it can carry out in-house.
