“Standing beside such a distinguished intellectual, known for his outstanding dedication and humility, was truly an honour.”
The President acknowledged Adegbulugbe’s academic journey, highlighting his 1976 graduation with a First-Class degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University).
He stated that he had a perfect Grade Point Average (GPA) of 5.0, which was an outstanding achievement that set him apart early in his career.
