Appointment of a Round Peg for a Round Hole in NUC!

I wish to convey my heartfelt happiness and goodwill over the appointment of our brother, the immediate past Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Professor Oluwatoyin Temitayo Ogundipe, as the Governing Board Chairman of the National Universities Commission (NUC) by the President.

Professor Ogundipe, a highly respected pastor and the immediate past Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lagos from 2017 to 2022, is an expert in Botany with special interests in biosystemics, molecular plant taxonomy, and ethnobotany, among others.

He demonstrated leadership skills at various times in his previous positions in public office and in the church.

Under his leadership, UNILAG made its debut and steadily climbed the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings, moving from an unranked status in 2017 to consistently positioning itself in the highly competitive 401-500 global band.

We worked together with Professor Ogundipe to ensure the introduction of the LLM in ICT Law and Cyber Law in Nigeria in some selected universities. These are the University of Lagos and Bayero University Kano (BUK).

In addition, we signed the first Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the introduction of the LLM in ICT Law at the University of Lagos on the 16th of November, 2018, while I was the Director General/CEO of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA). The aim was to ensure the effective regulation of the ICT sector in Nigeria by lawyers in partnership with ICT experts.

I wish our brother, Professor Ogundipe, a very successful tenure as Chairman of the NUC Governing Board so that our universities will benefit immensely from his wealth of knowledge, experience, and wisdom.

Ki Olorun bukun fun e, arakunrin mi.
