Founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti, ABUAD, Afe Babalola (SAN), has said that he never saw the four walls of a university, but that he had dedicated his life to serving humanity because God had been kind to him.
Afe Babalola said this when Ooni’s Research Team visited him, on Thursday, over a partnership on clinical research aimed at developing drugs and vaccines for viral infections with special focus on coronavirus pandemic. Babalola said: “I have already dedicated my life to humanity. What else am I looking for in this world? God has been so kind to me, that is why I must be so kind to humanity too.
“Even if I have to increase the laboratory from Level 4, I will do so without any hesitation, so that this partnership can be a huge success. All my life has been challenging; I never saw the four walls of the university, but I have several university degrees. It is my happiness that Arole Oodua Ooni of Ife has visited us to see what we have here at Afe Babalola University in Ado-Ekiti and he (Ooni) is impressed. He is a great African king with visionary and pragmatic leadership.”
On his part, the Ooni of Ife, Ooni Adeyeye Ogunwusi, explained the partnership at his Ile-Oodua palace, while receiving reports from his Clinical Research Team. The Ooni of Ife said he paid a courtesy call on Founder of Afe Babalola University to discuss further on moving health of the nation forward.
