Abstract
The aim of this study is to assess the suitability of multi campus siting as a growth pole in the campus settlement with the view to proffer recommendations in enhancing the concept of multi campus siting in achieving regional development. The objectives of the study are to investigate the extent to which the siting of OlabisiOnabanjo University, Ibogun campus had enhanced development in the study area; investigate likely problems associated with the siting of the campus and; proffer suggestions on how to enhance the concept of multi campus siting in achieving regional development. The sampling technique adopted in this research is the cluster sampling.Ibogun was divided into 5 clusters namely; Adina, Sowunmi, Egbeda, Oshungboye and Oja. Using the random sampling technique, three (3) clusters namely; Sowunmi, Osungboye and Oja were selected as the sampling areas. The households which were the unit of data collection were selected using the systematic random sampling. The systematic random sampling was employed on the basis of 5th building interval, twenty (20) questionnaires were administered in each of the sampling areas and the total number of questionnaires administered was 60. Study reveals that albeit the presence of the campus had not exposed residents to criminal activities such as robbery, burglary, rape and the likes, the major delinquency that students’ presence account for is drunkenness. The study ,inter alia, recommends that governments at the two tiers with the mutual mandate over tertiary education should recognize the strategic roles that campuses play in rural community development, and should employ multi-campus development as a trickle –down strategy to percolating development to semi-urban and rural regions as well as obviate exodus of migrants in search of greener pastures to the more developed urban areas .
