Instagram Influencer, Adeoluwa Prince Enioluwa has taken to Instagram to celebrate his father, Prof. Adeoluwa, following his recent appointment as Vice Chancellor at a prestigious university.

Enioluwa lauded his father’s remarkable achievements, particularly highlighting the transformation of the College of Education, Ikere-Ekiti into the Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science, and Technology during his tenure as provost.

This swift elevation from college to university status within just a year is a testament to Prof. Adeoluwa’s visionary leadership and dedication.

The new role of Vice Chancellor marks a significant milestone in Prof. Adeoluwa’s career, and his son couldn’t be prouder.

Enioluwa, an influential figure on Instagram and a determined PhD candidate, credits his father as a source of inspiration and motivation.

Having accomplished a first-class Bachelor’s degree by 19, a Masters at 21, and embarking on his PhD journey at 24, Enioluwa shared heartwarming photos with his father, expressing his joy and admiration for the man who has shaped his academic aspirations.

Enioluwa delightedly shared charming photos alongside his father captioning; “My dad assumed the role of Provost at the College of Education, Ikere-Ekiti, and within just one year, he and his team transformed it into a University.

On the 8th of March, Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science, and Technology will hold its very first convocation.

I’m immensely proud to call Prof my father, but even more proud of the incredible impact he has made and the countless lives he has touched and transformed.

In another instagram post he shared insights about the invaluable lessons imparted by his father, emphasizing the importance of leadership and humility.

These qualities, he noted, have shaped his approach to life and academics serving as guiding principles in his journey.

He wrote; “My Dad has been a Professor for 16 Years.

He’s taught me everything I needed to know about academics, leadership and humility.

I often ask, Dad, at what age did you finish university?

He’d proudly say, ‘21 with a 2:1. And I’d respond, ‘Well, I finished at 19 with a First Class!

His Masters at 23 and mine at 21.

He started his PhD at 33.

I started at 24.

Then he would say, “But I’m a Professor, and you’re not.”

That’s why I want to be a Professor so that when he says that again, I can say, “I am a Professor too!

Join me in honouring Prof. O.V. Adeoluwa -an incredible father, mentor, and trailblazer.
