President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, felicitates Professor Anthony Adegbulugbe, the Chancellor of Joseph Ayo Babalola University, Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun State, on his 70th birthday, April 2.
President Tinubu lauds Professor Adegbulugbe for his exemplary achievements and significant contributions to academia, evangelism, business, and philanthropy.
Reflecting on their shared experiences, President Tinubu recalls, “In October 2019, I had the privilege of sharing the podium with Professor Adegbulugbe as we received honorary doctorates alongside the Sultan of Sokoto, His Majesty Sultan Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, and the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Nnaemeka Alfred Ugochukwu Achebe, at Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti. Standing beside such a distinguished intellectual, known for his outstanding dedication and humility, was truly an honour.”
The President acknowledges Professor Adegbulugbe’s remarkable academic journey, highlighting his 1976 graduation with a First-Class degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) with a perfect Grade Point Average (GPA) of 5.0—an extraordinary accomplishment that distinguished him early in his career.
President Tinubu expresses confidence in Professor Adegbulugbe’s continued pursuit of excellence and is optimistic about his ongoing contributions to the nation’s development.
He extends warm wishes to Professor Adegbulugbe and his wife, Princess Afolake Adegbulugbe, for many more years filled with good health and abundant blessings.
