Encomium as Prof Afejuku bows out of UNIBEN after 43 years
Kindly share this story:
Speaking at a reception held at the UNIBEN Banquet Hall, the chairman of the occasion, Professor Mon Nwadiani, described Afejuku as someone who left behind a legacy of truth and boldness. Nwadiani therefore advised those still in service to emulate the qualities of Afejuku “who is seen as a friend to all and an enemy to none.”Professor Felix Ogonna described him as “a detribalised Nigerian who does not care where you come from but your ability to do what is right.”
Others who spoke in glowing terms of the celebrant are Suyi Ayodele of the Nigerian Tribune, Dr Abigail Eruaga of the Department of English and Literature of UNIBEN, and Professor Kola Eke, who described Afejuku in a poem read by Dr Edafe Mukoro, as an intellectual ‘iroko’, a man of many parts, “a radar detector of linguistic infelicities, and a chopper that goes round rudiments of language”.
