Education / Adieu,late Prof.babatunde Fafunwa by eedu247: 11:27am On Oct 20, 2010
Biography: Professor Babatunde Aliu Fafunwa(1923-2010)

Late Professor Fafunwa
Born into the Onikoyi Chieftaincy family of Isale Eko, Lagos to Pa Sanusi Giwa Fafunwa and Madam Morinatu Fafunwa on Sept 23, 1923, his early beginnings were full of struggles, set backs and successes. At a very tender age, young Aliu Fafunwa assisted his father in his trade as a fisherman and his mother in petty trading while in Jebba, Niger state, where they had moved to from their native Lagos for economic reasons.

He had his primary education at Muslim training school Ebute-Elefun and Ahmadiyya Talimul School Elegbata Lagos, between 1932 and 1936. He proceeded to C.M.S. Grammar School, Lagos between 1937 and 1943 for his secondary education. Before leaving for Florida, United States of America in 1947, Prof. Fafunwa worked for a short while, at the Nigerian Railway Corporation. .

He was awarded B. Sc in Social Sciences and English, M.A in English Education at the New York University and Ph.D. in Administration and Higher Education.

Prof. Aliu Fafunwa will best be remembered for his advocacy of learning ‘mother-tongue’ with English as a second language during the six years of primary education. The use of the mother tongue, according to Fafunwa would:

(1)Deliver the student from the shackles of colonialism.

(2)Allow for effective and meaningful communication between the teacher and student within and outside the classroom.

(3)Promote the development of mature judgment by the pupils.

(4) Be able to re-direct the society, if need be.

His second most important pioneering work is the introduction of primary science programme at the Primary education level in Nigeria.

Professor Aliu Babatunde Fafunwa’s career in education began on a humble note on his return from the United States of America. He started as a Senior tutor and later became Principal of the Ahmadiyyah College, Agege from Jan. to Dec. 1956. He moved from education to take up employment as Public Relations Manager at Esso West Africa from 1957 to 1961.

He went back to the classroom as a Senior Lecturer and head of education and later Associate Professor and Dean of the Faculty of education, University of Nigeria Nsukka in 1964. By 1965, he was Professor, Director of the Institute of Education and Head, Department of Education. And finally by 1966, he was acting Vice Chancellor of that University.

From 1967 to 1972, he was a Senior Lecturer and later Deputy Vice Chancellor at the University of Ife.

He was appointed to the Ibadan University Council from 1972 to 1975 and was member, board of Lagos State teaching Service Commission between 1976 and 1979. Between 1985 and 1990, He was the Vice President and later President of the Nigerian Academy of Education and was appointed Honourable Federal Minister of Education and Youth Development where he served from 1990 to 1993.

He held numerous administrative and academic appointments. he was an external examiner on education to five Nigerian universities. A number of foreign universities like Makarere University in Uganda. University College Cape Coast Ghana, University of West Indies, Jamaica and the University of Sierra Leone benefited from his wealth of experience.

Professor Fafunwa also served in very crucial capacities and was appointed to numerous organizations and commissions.

He was National President, Nigeria Experiment in International Living (1957-1980);

Member, Editorial Advisory Board, Teachers College Record, Teachers College, Columbia University (1973-84)

Chairman of Council, Lagos State College of Education (1981-82).

He was also President, International Council on Education for Teaching (ICET) Headquarters, Arlington, Virginia, U.S.A.(1990-1994).

Professor Fafunwa is an author of international repute. He has authored about twenty-two books and had nearly fifty publications in National and International Journals, including one in Polish language titled Problemy Afrikan Instuki published in January 1964. Over the years his contribution to education have attracted recognition including scholarships, awards, medals and appointments world-wide.

He won the Franklin Brook Award for outstanding contribution to Educational Development, New York, 1973;

Medal for Distinguished Service in Education, Teacher’s College, Columbia University,1973;

Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award, New York University School of Education,1982;

Distinguished Fellow, International Council on Education for Teaching, Washington D.C., 1983.

Aliu Fafunwa was a powerful force behind the formation of the Nigerian Academy of Education which has today become the most credible assemblage of the who-is-who in the field of education. He also chaired what is now known as the Fafunwa “Study Group” on the funding of Primary Education. The report of the group spelt out how to stabilize education at the base (primary level); the role of each tier of government and of parents too. It was that report that led to the birth of the National Primary Education Commission by the Federal Government in 1987.

Apart from his contributions to education, Professor Fafunwa is a God fearing man, his contribution to the cause of Islam dates back to over four decades. He is a member of the Shooting stars (1948) Islamic club as well as the Committee on Muslim Islamic Schools (COMIS) located in Osun State.

Professor Aliu Babatunde Fafunwa is a dedicated husband, father and grandfather. His wife Doris Elaine Jones who hails from North Bennington, Vermont U.S.A. has been a companion and a pillar of support for more than fifty – four years.

Their marriage is blessed with four children and several grandchildren.

He was the recipient of three honorary doctorate degrees from University of Nigeria, Nsukka in 1986, University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) in 1987 and the Lagos State University in 2000.

He is a recipient of the Nigerian National Merit Award in 1989, Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON) in 2002.

Professor Aliu Babatunde Fafunwa died on October 11th, 2010 at the age of eighty-seven.
