AND SHE SPEAKS EXCELLENCE
The University of Ilorin came alive again yesterday, 14th August, 2025 with the traditional academic public Town-Gown occasion, and I was privileged to be part of the epoch making event.
It was the 289th Inaugural Lecture of the University, delivered by the erudite scholar, Professor Sidiqat Adeyemi Aderinoye – Abdulwahab, on the topic: “Sustainable, Smart, and Safe Pastoralism in Nigeria.”
Professor Sidiqat Aderinoye-Abdulwahab has been able to show that women deserve the best education they can get, that such venture would not go to waste, if followed diligently, and that women have a lot to contribute to the growth and wellbeing of the nation. As a knowledge producer, her lecture was on a topic that is as relevant as daylight: a sustainable way to ensure food security, create millions of job, and raise the bar of animal husbandry in Nigeria.
It was such a wonderful, worthwhile, and memorable event.
May Allâh accept her erudition as worship and put His choicest barakah in her scholarship.
