HBCU Excellence: From Student to President, Central State University Welcomes Dr. Morakinyo Kuti!

Posted By: Will Moss on March 13, 2025

HBCU Connect extends heartfelt congratulations to Central State University (CSU) on the inauguration of its 10th president, Dr. Morakinyo A.O. Kuti. This momentous occasion, held on March 6, 2025, marks a new chapter in CSU's rich history, reflecting its enduring commitment to academic excellence and community engagement.

Dr. Kuti's journey is a testament to dedication and visionary leadership. An esteemed alumnus of CSU, he graduated in 1985 and has since amassed a wealth of experience in higher education. Prior to his presidency, Dr. Kuti served as the Vice President for Research and Economic Development and Director of 1890 Land-Grant Programs at CSU, roles in which he championed research initiatives and fostered economic growth.

The inauguration ceremony was a vibrant celebration, honoring both CSU's traditions and Dr. Kuti's Nigerian heritage. The event symbolized a fusion of cultures and underscored the university's global perspective.



Attendees were treated to a week of special events from March 3–7, 2025, highlighting CSU’s rich history, global vision, and unwavering commitment to student success.

Dr. Kuti's vision for CSU is both ambitious and inspiring. He aims to position the university as a leader in addressing national health disparities, leveraging research and innovation to effect positive change. His leadership is expected to usher in a new era of research and transformation at CSU, further solidifying its role as a pivotal institution in higher education.

As the nation's only public historically black land-grant university, CSU has a storied legacy of empowering students and serving the community. With Dr. Kuti at the helm, the university is poised to expand its impact, offering innovative opportunities and fostering an environment where students can thrive.

Once again, we congratulate Dr. Morakinyo A.O. Kuti and Central State University on this significant milestone. We look forward to witnessing the remarkable advancements and contributions that will undoubtedly emerge under Dr. Kuti's leadership.
