In 2017, Lawal Toheeb’s dream of studying law became a reality when he was selected as one of the beneficiaries of a scholarship program sponsored by Mr Ademola Adeleke, a senator who represented the Osun-west senatorial district at the National Assembly from 2017 to 2019.
Professor Oyewusi Ibidapo-Obe: Our shared dream
Ayobami Salami
Before May 2017 when I was appointed the Pioneer Vice Chancellor, First Technical University, Ibadan, I only knew Professor Oyewusi Ibidapo-Obe by his reputation, earned through his unassailable credentials. Shortly after my appointment, the then Governor of Oyo State and Visitor to the University, Senator Abiola Ajimobi (of the blessed memory), invited me for a meeting in his office to discuss my plans for the university. At the meeting were a few government officials, including the then Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Olalekan Alli. The governor then told me he was planning to appoint a substantive Pro-Chancellor for the university and he wanted my suggestion(s).
