VC UNILORIN, Egbewole extols Prof Gambari’s virtues @ 78

The Vice Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Prof. Wahab Olasupo Egbewole (SAN), has joined other prominent individuals and organisations from within and outside Nigeria to rejoice with the Chief of Staff to the President, Prof. Ibrahim Agboola Gambari, CFR, on the occasion of his 78th birthday, which fell due last Thursday (November 24, 2022).

In a statement signed by the University’s Director of Corporate Affairs, Mr Kunle Akogun, the Vice Chancellor thanked the Almighty Allah for not only gifting Nigeria with such a remarkable citizen but for also granting Prof. Gambari the privileges to be healthy and active in the services of his fatherland.

Prof. Egbewole described the former Minister of External Affairs as “an outstanding scholar, a seasoned diplomat and an exemplary global citizen who deserves to be celebrated for his enormous sterling contributions to national development and global peace”.

Prof. Egbewole said that the University of Ilorin is delighted to be associated with a man of Prof. Gambari’s calibre, pointing out that the institution would remain grateful to the Chief of Staff for his undying interest in the development of the University.

The foremost legal luminary recalled that apart from being a distinguished son of the University’s host community, Prof. Gambari, who previously served as the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of Bayero University, Kano, has equally proven to be a friend of the University of Ilorin.

As an enduring friend of the University, the Vice Chancellor explained that the former Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations has equally honoured the institution on many occasions during which he presented thought-provoking lectures on issues of local and global significance.

Prof. Egbewole said that the entire staff and students of the University see Prof. Gambari as a shinning model in citizenship, scholarship and leadership.

He enjoined the renowned diplomat to continue to avail the younger ones the wisdom and other qualities that saw him to the pinnacle of his career and endeared him to members of the international community.

The Vice Chancellor prayed Allah to continue to grant Prof. Gambari good health and other wherewithal he would need to enable him to continue to serve the nation and humanity.
