The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II, has described the appointment of a son of the ancient town as the Vice Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Kwara State, Professor Wahab Egbewole as well deserved.
In a congratulatory message by the traditional ruler, he congratulated the Ife-born don, saying his latest status is a true reflection of his decades of investment in the growth of Nigeria’s Education sector through the University of Ilorin.
His words: “I am so proud and I cannot but congratulate you very warmly.
“Going further, I want you to sustain the virtues upon which you became the latest VC in Nigeria and also step it up now that you have a bigger platform to impact lives and help develop our dear country’s educational sector.”
Professor Egbewole, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) who specialises in Law and Jurisprudence was named the 12th Vice Chancellor of the University on Thursday evening by the Governing Council of the institution.
