BACKGROUND
Welcome to the website of the Centre for Sandwich programmes, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye. The genesis of the Centre for Sandwich Programmes (CESAP) could be traced to a vision. A vision to put qualitative university education on the wheels and make it readily available to the Nigerian populace in particular and other willing foreign nationals. Consequent upon this, the university senate by it's decision of 28 December 1995 approved that all sandwich part time programmes be under the control of a Management Board/Faculty. The terms of reference of the Board are:

a. To formulate policy guidelines for the running and management of the centre, including admission, conduct and release of examination results, and preparation of academic calendar;

b. To consider and approve Annual Budget estimates as well as Annual Report including Financial Report;

c.  To make recommendations from time to time to the Senate through the Vice-Chancellor on the improvement, expansion, rationalization and any other matters relating to part-time first degree and sub-degree programmes of the university and;

d.  Any other that matter that may be referred to the Board from time to time by the Vice-Chancellor.

The main objective of the Centre is to provide opportunities for working class Nigerians and other nationals to acquire new skills both for immediate and future needs. Thus, our flexible schedule of lectures is uniquely suited for working adults desirous of obtaining undergraduate degrees and candidates preparing for direct entry into university via certificate and diploma programmes. CESAP is recognized as the most structured, innovative and dynamic part-time programmes in Nigeria. We produce study materials for our students and now the only such Centre with independent website.
The Centre operates in three towns in Ogun State, within a radius of twenty kilometers. These are Ago-Iwoye where the Main and Mini campuses are located, Ijebu-Igbo, which houses Abusi Edumare Annexe and the SEICO Annexe in Ijebu-Ode. However, since the relocation of the College of Agriculture to Aiyetoro, the Centre is contemplating have an annexe there to cater for Agricultural Science students.

As from the 1996/97 academic session, the centre started full co-ordination of sandwich and part-time programmes of the College of Agricultural Sciences, Faculties of Science, Education, Law, Arts, Social Sciences, Management Sciences with about 40 programmes (degree and sub-degree) available to the students. As at 2002/2003 session, the total number of programmes had risen to about 80.

One of the cardinal goals of the centre is the provision of high quality academic programmes backed with adequate infrastructural facilities for teaching as well as research.
