Professors Banjo, Tamuno, others, laud Ajimobi EIGHT professors, among whom were Emeritus Professor and two-time Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Professor Ayo Banjo and the first alumnus to occupy the post of Vice- Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Professor Tekena Tamuno, have commended the governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi’s administration, praising it for its developmental feats across the state, and describing his government as unprecedented. The scholars, who are spread across the nation and grouped under the aegis of the Nigerian Academy of Letters, gave the commendation on Friday during a courtesy call on the governor in his office. Emeritus professor Banjo, who spoke on behalf of the professors, acknowledged that the state government had achieved great success in its transformation agenda, pointing out that the transformational drive had not been restricted to only Ibadan, the state capital, but cuts across every part of the state. He explained that the visit to the governor was part of the activities scheduled for the association’s National Conference, which is holding in the state, a forum where issues of socio-economic relevance and contributions to societal growth would be discussed. “Residents of Oyo State have continued to feel the impact of your transformation programme, particularly those of us who had been here for many years. The transformation is obvious, the transformation is physical and good; it has changed the behavioural attitude of many people. We happily congratulate you and we wish you more successes in the state,” declared Prof Banjo. In his contribution, the Vice President of the Academy, Prof. Benjamin Oloruntimehin, extolled the leadership virtues and humility of Governor Ajimobi, urging him to keep up the good works for the progress of the state.
