THE AWUJALE OF IJEBULAND

Alaiyeluwa Oba (Dr.) Sikiru Kayode Adetona, CFR

Alaiyeluwa Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, CFR (born 10 May 1934) is the Awujale of the Ijebu Kingdom, a traditional state in Nigeria.

Welcome Address

It gives me extreme pleasure to send this goodwill message to the staff, friends and followers of the Institute named after my good self. In the intensely hot and humid weather of the tropics, dreams are born and tend to die very quickly. In the economic and social frying pan of our country, Nigeria, and our continent, many dreams are stillborn while many others are postponed for eternity. We give thanks to God, therefore, for making it possible and for providing me with the wherewithal

and long life to bring to fruition my long-standing dream of major interventions in the tertiary educational sector through the establishment of a Professorial Chair in Governance, which took off in 2016, and the birth in quick succession of an Institute for Governance Studies, both located at the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, Nigeria. In this respect, I wish to pay tributes to the immediate past Vice Chancellor of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Professor Saburi Adesanya, and the incumbent, Professor Ganiyu Olatunji, whose collaborative efforts made it much easier for the dreams to become reality.
