Olumuyiwa Enitan, the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, commended Prof Kayode Adebowale during a valedictory ceremony marking the end of his tenure as the 13th Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan. The ceremony, themed “Celebrating Leadership, Legacy and Service,” took place at Trenchard Hall and included various stakeholders.
Enitan noted that Adebowale's leadership aligned with President Bola Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda, aimed at strengthening institutions and fostering a knowledge-driven economy. Adebowale, who began his term on November 1, 2021, stated that his administration was leaving behind a strong institution but acknowledged the need for further improvements, particularly in funding.
He emphasized the importance of listening to the community and maintaining integrity in governance. The incoming 14th Vice-Chancellor, Prof Peter Olapegba, officially began his tenure on November 1, 2026.
Adefemi Afolabi, representing the Academic Staff Union of Universities, praised Adebowale's commitment to union members' welfare.
