78 Year Old Awujale Of Ijebuland Enrols For Law At National Open University by mukina2: 1:07pm On Feb 27, 2012
Seventy-eight-year-old Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, has gone back to school.

According to him, he desires to make history as the nation’s oldest monarch to bag a degree in Law while still on the throne.

Adetona on Saturday joined 201 other new Law students of the National Open University of Nigeria for their matriculation at Awa-Ijebu Study Centre.

Though he was admitted alongside 27 of his traditional rulers, the latter decided to defer their admission for a year.

Some of them are the Limeri of Awa-Ijebu, Oba Abib Awobajo, and the Ajalorun of Ijebu-Ife, Oba Olusesan Oguntayo.

According to them, they took the decision to allow their paramount ruler be a year ahead of them and as a sign of honour to the monarch.

Adetona said after the matriculation that his passion for education in general and for law education in particular, informed his decision.

He said, “Age cannot be a barrier to learning for me. It is what I desire and I assure all of you that I will study very well and come out of the university in record time without fail.”

The monarch also said schooling would not affect his roles as the custodian of the culture of his people.

NOUN Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ado Tenebe, who was represented on the occasion by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academics), Prof. Mba Okoronkwo, advised the matriculants to take their studies seriously.

Born as Prince Sikiru Olukayode Adetona to the Anikinaiya 1 Ogbagba Royal Family of Ijebu Ode on May 10, 1934, his father was Prince Rufai Adetona, while his mother was Alhaja Ajibabi Adetona (nee Onashile). His mother hailed from Ijebu Igbo.

That is not a new thing , because a Japanes that is almost 90, became the world oldest undergraduate, so my take about it, is not the age but the passion atached to it, there is age barrier in acsition of knowledge, so I can say kudos to his royal highness, Kabiesioooooooo

Let them use their esteemed positions to better the lot of the school.
A situation whereby  students pay for books and other study materials and yet do not get them is extremely pathetic and frustrating. This has been a perenial problem in the school. Year in year out the school authority makes sure they collect monies for study materials from students and yet such materials are not provided to them. If this is not executive fraud, I don't know what else to call it.

Also when are we going to see the first set of graduands from the school? Even the first set of students that were admitted as far back as 2004 are still in the school due to no fault of theirs but entirely due to management's seeming unseriousness.

Open University systems work very efficiently in other climes. But in Nigeria it's in a big mess.
