“My dad assumed the role of Provost at the College of Education, Ikere-Ekiti, and within just one year, he and his team transformed it into a University,” he wrote.

“On the 8th of March, Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science, and Technology will hold its very first convocation.

In another post, the media personality praised his father for instilling values of leadership and humility in him.

“My dad has been a professor for 16 years. He’s taught me everything I needed to know about academics, leadership and humility,” he said.

“I often ask, ‘Dad, at what age did you finish university? He’d proudly say, ’21 with a 2:1! And I’d respond, ‘Well, I finished at 19 with a First Class!

“His Masters at 23 and mine at 21. He started his PhD at 33. I started at 24. Then he would say, ‘But I’m a Professor, and you’re not’.

“That’s why I want to be a Professor so that when he says that again, I can say, “I am a Professor too! Join me in honouring Prof. O.V. Adeoluwa — an incredible father, mentor, and trailblazer.”

Enioluwa is an actor, content creator, and influencer.
