The Emir of Ilorin and Chairman of the Kwara State Council of Chiefs, Alhaji (Dr) Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, CFR, is celebrating his 27th coronation anniversary this Friday, and the Vice Chancellor of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), Prof. Wahab Olasupo Egbewole, SAN, has joined in the celebration (November 11, 2022).
The institution’s Director of Corporate Affairs, Mr. Kunle Akogun, signed a statement on the vice chancellor’s behalf describing the emir’s reign as peaceful, eventful, and prosperous.
Prof. Egbewole claimed that since he ascended the throne in 1995, the Emir has consistently brought to bear, in the discharge of his responsibilities, his fascinating upbringing, profound legal training and extensive exposure on the bench.
“The Emir has been a model traditional ruler and a transparent leader in the true sense of the word whose type is uncommon in contemporary Nigeria.”
The Professor of Jurisprudence and International Law said that as someone who had lived in Ilorin for decades, he could say, without any iota of doubt, that the Emir has proved to be a leader who deserves the position he holds.
“As a symbol of unity and a great unifier, the Emir had always regarded all those who live within Ilorin Emirate, in particular and Kwara State in general, notwithstanding their socio-cultural and religious backgrounds, as his subjects who deserve his fatherly prayers and support.”
The Vice Chancellor said that the University of Ilorin, as an institution, has not only enjoyed the cooperation of the Emir and his people but has also benefited from the pacific and fraternal dispositions of the host community, which is reflecting in the prevailing peaceful atmosphere on the University campus.
He prayed Allah to endow the Emir with long life and continuous peaceful reign in the service of humanity.
