According to a statement released by his spokesperson, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, on Wednesday, Tinubu praised Adegbulugbe for his accomplishments and services to philanthropy, business, evangelism, and academia.
He quoted the President as recalling their shared experiences that “in October 2019, I had the privilege of sharing the podium with Prof. Adegbulugbe as we received honorary doctorates alongside the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Abubakar III, and the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Nnaemeka Ugochukwu Achebe, at Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti.
“Standing beside such a distinguished intellectual, known for his outstanding dedication and humility, was truly an honour.”
The President praised Adegbulugbe’s academic accomplishments, emphasising his 1976 graduation from the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) with a First-Class degree in Electrical Engineering.
He noted that it was a perfect Grade Point Average (GPA) of 5.0, an extraordinary accomplishment that distinguished him early in his career.
Tinubu expressed optimism about Adegbulugbe’s continued contributions to the growth of the country and confidence in his pursuit of excellence.
He wished Adegbulugbe and his wife, Princess Afolake Adegbulugbe, many more years filled with good health and abundant blessings.
