Mr Duyile said his major challenge while pursuing his PhD programme was travelling twice a week from Ondo State to the University of Lagos.

He said: “My intention to have a PhD degree is about 40 years old now. I have been making efforts since I was just between 35 and 45. I had tried to put in for it but unfortunately, one thing or the other would disturb me. He said with the support of his family, his lecturers, and the people around him, he was able to complete the programme without much trouble.According to Mr Duyile, the major challenge he experienced throughout the time of his study was transporting himself from Ondo town, a three-hour journey, to Lagos, twice a week.
Mr Duyile also complained about the scarcity of relevant historical materials needed for his PhD thesis in Nigerian libraries, saying he had to travel to the United Kingdom to access some of the materials needed. He said the situation of libraries in Nigeria is worrisome, saying “It is a pity that all the records on colonialism, the introduction of Christianity to Nigeria, among others, could only be found overseas.”Mr Duyile, who said God has been gracious to him by granting him quality health, said throughout the period his PhD programme lasted, he was not sick.
“And I am already taking those steps. I already have seven published books on journalism and by March I can tell you that the 8th, 9th and 10th books would be out because they are already with printers,” Mr Duyile said.Mr Duyile said journalism, as practiced in Nigeria today, is different from what operated during his own time, saying materialism now seems to be dictating the pace among journalism of this age.
