[OPINION BY MAHFOUZ ADEDIMEJI] Oloyede at 68: An icon of courage

As the phenomenal registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board , Is-haq Olanrewaju Oloyede, mounts the dais to receive another consequential national award, commander of the order of the Niger , it is pertinent to heave a sigh and reflect on this rare human species at 68.

For Oloyede, courage flows naturally as a tributary of his conviction and character. He is unstoppable in his commitment to changing narratives and shifting paradigms even in the face of danger. With his abiding faith in God and enviable sense of personal discipline, this cynosure of all eyesc projects to the world the Aristotelian postulation that courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.

While Oloyede has a cordial relationship with many people across boundaries, religious, ethnic and otherwise, he has sustained a lifetime adversarial relationship with corruption. He has never received a bribe. As I once noted, “Oloyede loathes corruption so much that corruption too loathes him also in kind”.
