Opinion: Na’Allah: Newer Heights for An Ebullient and Fecund Academic, By Mahfouz A. Adedimeji

The same zeal with which he worked in KWASU has been brought to his new assignment at the University of Abuja, as he has hit the ground running on assumption of office on Monday, July 1, 2019. There is no doubt that…by the time Professor Na’Allah completes his current assignment…the University of Abuja too would have also become…“far, far better by far” than it is now.

Although I didn’t meet Mr. AbdulRasheed Na’Allah at the Department of Modern European Languages, University of Ilorin, when I resumed as a freshman in 1994 because he had left for his PhD programme in Canada two years earlier, his presence still loomed large on campus then as the true definition of excellence.

On my academic visit to his University on May 17, 2006, Professor Na’Allah graciously facilitated my presentation of a seminar on “A Comparison of the Nigerian and American Ways of Life: A Phenomenological Approach” at Conference Room A of the Department of African American Studies.

Some years after, as a lecturer in the former Department of Modern European Languages, University of Ilorin, Na’Allah proceeded to the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada, where he received his PhD in Comparative Literature in 1999.
