ADEKUNLE AJASIN UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITY AKUNGBA ONDO STATE
All hail Adekunle Ajasin Varsity, Akungba
The ray of the sun
A citadel of sound souls,
Built on lofty ideals
With a vision to pull down,
Walls of ignorance
And extend the frontiers of knowledge.
Chorus:
AAUA
Citadel for learning and service
AAUA
Built on integrity and truth
Igniting the present, lighting up the future….
A centre of excellence, we hail thee.
In AAUA we find the vision
To soar beyond the stars
Enlightening young minds,
In character and learning
With a mission to banish
Every lawlessness, and entrench
The culture of soundness

As crested in Eyo masquerade
Plus the fishing and countless boat regattas,
And make do with wine bota
