Abiodun Ogunyemi and the Politics of Higher Education in Nigeria, By Toyin Falola
Abiodun Ogunyemi stands out as one of the union leaders whose contributions, no matter how heavily criticised, deserve a high level of attention. Having received his education when Nigeria was test-running its political competence in terms of how it can bring about maximum transformation to the lives of the people who were governed, Ogunyemi unquestionably developed a critical sense of responsibility to his professional career and society. The socio-political conditions of the time helped shape his ideological convictions about life and the pursuit of equity and equitable distribution of justice among the oppressed groups in the society.
