Mr. Obafemi went on to describe NAL as an intellectual organisation whose mandate is to promote research and scholarship at its highest level in all branches of humanities.

He added that Mr. Oloyede was an active and dynamic member as well as a fellow of NAL.

“The appointment of Prof. Is-haq Oloyede is a highly merited one not because he is a former Vice Chancellor but because he has distinguished himself in Nigeria; it is a merited appointment considering his profile and pedigree."

Mr Obafemi also said that the Academy’s visit was made to assure Mr. Oloyede of its support as well as its collaboration.

“Oloyede is extremely gifted intellectually and he is also very hardworking and he would perform in whatever capacity he is appointed to work."
