President Bola Tinubu felicitates Prof. Anthony Adegbulugbe, the Chancellor of Joseph Babalola University, Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun, on his 70th birthday, April 2.
Mr Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu’s spokesman, said in a statement that he lauded Adegbulugbe for his achievements and contributions to academia, evangelism, business and philanthropy.
He quoted the President as recalling their shared experiences: “In October 2019, I had the privilege of sharing the podium with Prof. Adegbulugbe as we received honorary doctorates alongside the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Abubakar III, and the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Nnaemeka 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 acknowledged Adegbulugbe’s academic journey, highlighting his 1976 graduation with a First-Class degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University).
He noted that it was a perfect Grade Point Average (GPA) of 5.0, an extraordinary accomplishment that distinguished him early in his career.
President Tinubu expressed confidence in Adegbulugbe’s continued pursuit of excellence and is optimistic about his ongoing contributions to the nation’s development.
He wished Adegbulugbe and his wife, Princess Afolake Adegbulugbe, many more years filled with good health and abundant blessings.
