The Ekiti State University (EKSU) has conferred an Honorary
Doctor of Laws (Honoris Causa) on Prince Julius Adelusi-Adeluyi, president, Nigeria Academy of Pharmacy (NAPharm), in recognition of his immense support to the less privileged in the society, and to the development of Ekiti State University.
The conferment of the honorary degree, which took place during the recent Convocation ceremony of the university, had in attendance prominent NAPharm Fellows like Prof. Fola Tayo; Prof Kemi Odukoya; Pharm Babashehu Ahmed; Pharm. (Dr) Lolu Ojo; Prof. Ibrahim Oreagba; and Prof.(Mrs) Mbang Femi-Oyewo.
In his response to the kind gesture of the university, Prince Adelusi-Adeluyi expressed his profound gratitude to the institution for the honour done on him.
He also made a public request for the establishment of a Faculty of Pharmacy at Ekiti State University, before the expiration of the tenure of the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Edward Olanipekun, in August 2024.
Responding to the request of the awardee, the EKSU VC, asked Prince Adelusi-Adeluyi, to be the major facilitator of the project.
In a similar development, the NAPharm President and his team used the occasion of the EKSU Convocation to decorate the Founder of Afe Babalola University Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD), Aare Afe Babalola, with an Honorary Fellow of NAPharm.
The colourful investiture ceremony, held in ABUAD, left
Aare Afe Babalola with a lasting impression of the Pharmacy profession, as he promised to collaborate with the academy in the areas of research and manufacturing.
