“He was therefore asked by the management to chair this committee that include the Director of Academic Planning and Director of CITS as members of the Committee for 5 years. For the first time, his Committee created websites for all the Faculties, Departments and each Lecturer.
“He brought honour to the university in 2010, 2013, 2017 by training four students of Mathematics, on each occasion, to the competition for undergraduate students in all Nigerian Universities, organized by the National Mathematics Center, Abuja. University of Lagos won gold medals in all the three occasions.
