Proprietor of Afe Babalola University, Ado-
Ekiti, Chief Afe Babalola, said on Wednesday that
he turned down ministerial appointments offered
by four Nigerian presidents.
Babalola made the disclosure at the 3rd
convocation ceremony of the university in Ado
Ekiti.
He said his refusal was not out of pride but the
conviction that his law practice was enough to
make him comfortable and also contribute to
national development.
Babalola said that much pressure from former
President Olusegun Obasanjo later made him to
accept to serve as Pro-Chancellor and Chairman
of Council of the University of Lagos.
He, however, said he accepted to serve on the
council on the condition that he would not be
paid salaries or allowances throughout his
tenure.
Babalola expressed regrets that many Nigerians
were unwilling to contribute to national
development, urging them to shun greed and be
contented.
He explained that the rot as well as state of
financial recklessness he met at the University
of Lagos spurred him into establishing a
university.
In a remark, the immediate past Chairman of
INEC, Prof. Attahiru Jega, commended Babalola’s
vision in partnering with government to take
education to the next level.
Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti also commended
Babalola for considering the state as host for
the university, urging other wealthy indigenes of
the state to emulate him.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that a
total of 736 students graduated from the six
faculties of the institution.
NAN also reports that Jega, Bishop Mathew
Kukah, the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi,
and Justice Emmanuel Ayoola were all conferred
with honourary doctoral degrees of the
university.
