Recap of the University of Ibadan's 561st Inaugural Lecture: “Working in the Shadows of Death” by Professor Ayodeji Omole

On Thursday, September 21, 2024, the University of Ibadan hosted the 561st inaugural lecture, presented by Professor Ayodeji Omole from the Department of Forest Production and Products. The event, held at Trenchard Hall, was attended by esteemed guests, including high-ranking government officials from Oyo State and members of the management team from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH).

Professor Omole, who is currently the pro-chancellor and chairman of Council at LAUTEH, shared insights into his intellectual journey, exploring the complexities of academic life and the metaphorical “shadows of death” that many scholars navigate. He drew parallels between his experiences and the challenges faced in the realm of renewable natural resources, emphasizing resilience and innovation.



The lecture not only highlighted his significant contributions to scholarship but also encouraged budding academics to embrace the challenges inherent in their pursuits. The event fostered rich discussions and reflections on the vital role of academia in addressing pressing environmental issues.

As attendees departed, they were left inspired by Professor Omole's journey and the profound implications of his work for the future of renewable natural resources.
