Dissecting UI succession crisis, new VC emergence - Punch Newspapers

The succession crisis rocking the Nigerian premier university; University of Ibadan, eventually came to an amicable crescendo with the appointment of Prof. Kayode Adebowale on October 14, 2021 as the 13th Vice Chancellor of the institution. The post of the VC of the University became vacant on December 1, 2020 following the tenure expiration of the 12th VC, Prof. Abel Idowu Olayinka.

Interestingly, since the appointment was announced, however, there has been a refreshing sigh of relief on Ibadan campus. Peace has returned. Leading gladiators in the troubled contest, including the Prof. Adeyinka Aderinto; among others, have congratulated the new VC and promised to work together with him for the growth of the system. That is good. That is political maturity.

Now, let us peep into the profile of our new VC! Who is Prof. Adebowale? How much of him do we know? Can he handle this job? Exaggeration unintended, Prof. Adebowale is not only qualified to drive this system, he has been tried and tested and certified to be eminently suitable to lift UI far higher than he met it.

Adebowale is intellectually dialogical, very conversational and discussive with his open personable mien. He is not a malice bearer. His is a story of decency and dignity. He analyses issues with both scientific and sociological spirits. He has a good grasp of some social anthropology which enables him to flow with all and sundry. Years back, I was with him in his chemistry laboratory where he shared some of his past experiences with me about journalism.
