A source within the University described the inaugural lecture as “unique because it coincides with the retirement of Professor Olatunji, who will formally bow out of the University’s service on Thursday, May 28, 2026, when he would have clocked the mandatory 70 years permitted by the law for academics to remain in active service.”
The enthusiastic source added that “Professor Olatunji will probably be one of the few lucky academics to have their inaugural lectures as parting gifts on the retirement eve. This type rarely happens and this makes this one a very exceptional occasion.”
