The Oyo State College of Nursing Sciences, Eleyele, Ibadan has concluded arrangements to begin degree-awarding programmes soon.
The Provost of the College, Dr. Gbonjubola Owolabi disclosed this during the donation of a 110-inch interactive electronic board and projector to the institution by the set X (1979-1982) this weekend.
Owolabi said the institution was already in the process of affiliating with the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, LAUTECH, to provide a veritable platform for students of the institution to pursue bachelor and master degrees, which will enable them to reach the pinnacle of their respective careers, right from the college.
Former students of College, code-named Set X (1979-1982), donated a 110-inch interactive electronic board and a projector to the college as part of their reunion celebration, while the 1985 set of the college donated industrial borehole to the college.
The industrial borehole was commissioned by a former Director of Nursing Services, Mrs. Arinola, while the 110-inch interactive electronic board and projector were commisioned by a former Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Health, Mrs. Obasa.
Commending the alumni for the donation, the Provost said: “The noble initiative of the old students will in no small measure contribute to educational development in the State. It is indeed encouraging, laudable, commendable, and appreciated.”
She said the college would not rest on its oars in providing quality education to future nurses, noting that the college will maintain its position as the premier nursing institution in Nigeria.
The Provost stated that the College has gotten approval to run faculties, adding that more programmes will be offered after full accreditation by the relevant Federal Government regulatory bodies and councils.
She added that the college was fully committed to theoretical and practical training, as well as skills development.
While thanking the ex-students for the donations, the provost urged them not to relent in their efforts at giving back to the college.
Earlier, the Chairman of 1979-1982 set, Dr. Yemisi Bhadmus-Ladi said, “The School of Nursing, Eleyele renamed as College of Nursing Sciences, Eleyele was a stepping stone to their greatness.”
She thanked committed members of the set for their efforts at ensuring the completion of the programme.
Address of the President General, Balogun Gaphar Babatunde Ojetola, to the 2025 Annual General Assembly Friday, 28th March 2025
Exactly three years ago today, Mr. David Oladimeji Mako was inaugurated as the 12th National President following his victory in the 2022 General Election. He assumed office with boundless enthusiasm and a remarkable passion for transforming both the school and the association. With unwavering determination, a clear vision, and a well-structured plan, he embarked on the ambitious task of revitalizing the system and restoring Ibadan Grammar School to its place as the premier secondary school in Nigeria. Many of us, his close allies, shared in his dream and vision.
Mako was a visionary leader of great repute—an unyielding advocate for a better IGS, one who believed that change should happen immediately. He was determined, energetic, and relentless in his pursuit of reform. Beyond that, he was a defender of the voiceless, a champion for the oppressed, and a staunch promoter of justice. Yet, despite these admirable qualities, he was often misunderstood. Unbothered by how others perceived him, he remained focused on pushing forward his plans for the school and the association.
Mako was deeply committed to several initiatives:
He sought to restore the hostels to full functionality, just as he and many of us had once enjoyed.
He envisioned a swift reintroduction of the HSC education program.
He was determined to enhance the school’s security by constructing an impenetrable perimeter fence.
He initiated a review of our outdated constitution, ensuring that all Grammarians, regardless of their location, could participate in elections and be eligible for leadership.
Having served the association for nearly four decades, Mako was a well-prepared leader, ready to deliver results in record time. In contrast, I was not. Tragically, his journey was cut short by death on Sunday, 22nd October 2023.
On his way to the hospital for a surgical procedure in Lagos, accompanied by Otunba Kenny Adebambo, IGSOSAUK President, Mako was still passionately discussing ways to advance Ibadan Grammar School with potential sponsors. Kenny advised him to focus on the journey ahead, but in his usual manner, Mako flippantly responded, “If anything happens, Gaphar will continue.” Kenny brushed it off, never imagining that Mako would not make it out of the operating room.
As the First Vice National President, I was thrust into leadership by the IGSOSA Registered Board of Trustees, led by Olorogun Goodie Ibru. I was unprepared, inexperienced, and hesitant to fill the enormous shoes Mako left behind. He had often advised me to pay closer attention, but I never fully grasped the weight of his words. Overwhelmed, I leaned on the support of my friends, classmates, colleagues, and the wider IGSOSA family. Their unwavering encouragement gave me the strength to step up to the challenge, and for that, I am deeply grateful. You all know yourselves, and I pray that God meets you at your points of need.
To my dear friend and predecessor, David Oladimeji Mako, I pledged to see through the projects you initiated. By the grace of God and with the support of your devoted admirers, we have made great strides. May your soul continue to rest in eternal peace.

Introduction
I begin by giving glory to Almighty God for granting us the grace to witness yet another Annual General Meeting. This gathering stands as a testament to His continued mercy and protection over our lives. It is my great pleasure to welcome our esteemed members and invited guests to our beloved institution, Ibadan Grammar School, for the 2025 AGM.
When fate entrusted me with the leadership of our esteemed association on 1st November 2023, I affirmed that our collective strength and resources would be instrumental in building upon the legacy of President Mako and the solid foundation laid by past presidents, in alignment with the traditions and ethos of Ibadan Grammar School.
As your 13th National President and the first President General, I will refrain from repeating details that will be covered in the Secretary-General’s and National Treasurer’s reports. Instead, I will highlight key achievements and challenges since our last AGM.

Historical Groundbreaking of the IGSOSA Legacy Wall – Perimeter Fence Project
A landmark event took place on 5th February 2025—the groundbreaking ceremony for the IGSOSA Legacy Wall – Perimeter Fence Project. The foundation-laying ceremony was conducted by Hon. Prof. Saliu AbdulWaheed Adelabu, the Oyo State Commissioner for Education, alongside IGSOSA Elders and the National Executive Council. Work commenced immediately, and I extend my sincere gratitude to all donors and potential contributors supporting this crucial project.

Sadly, we lost several distinguished members:
Prince Adegoke Ademiluyi, former National President and Lagos Chapter leader.
Engineer Saidi Sulu, a pioneer figure in the association.
Mr. Bankole Anthony Ige (1974/79 Class Set), a founding member of IGSOSAUK.
May their souls rest in peace, and may the Lord continue to comfort their families.
Appeal for Continued Support
As my tenure comes to an end, I appeal for your unwavering support for the incoming administration, led by Mr. Dayo Onakoya. May God guide and strengthen them in their leadership.
Closing Remarks
I am profoundly grateful to God for granting me the privilege of serving as IGSOSA’s National President and First President General. His grace has sustained us, and for that, I give thanks.
To our esteemed leaders, your wisdom and counsel have been invaluable in moments of challenge—I am eternally grateful. To my fellow Mountaineers, your constructive criticisms, kindness, and prayers have strengthened our collective spirit. I do not take any of it for granted.
Together, we can elevate this association to greater heights.
Deo et patriae
Thank you, and God bless you.

I have been incredibly busy lately, but I could not miss the opportunity to celebrate Prof. Lucas, a true scholar, on his remarkable 80th birthday. He truly deserves this milestone celebration! To mark this special occasion, I have declared a two-week celebration, symbolically dividing his 80 years into two halves of 40 years each. These two periods represent his dedication to the glory of God and his selfless service to humanity. In celebrating Professor Ephraim Olabode Olusegun Lucas’ life and accomplishments, we are reminded of the enormous impact one person can have on society. Professor Lucas’ academic trajectory demonstrates his tenacity and enthusiasm for learning. Affectionately addressed as Bode, he was born on 27 February, 1945, into a family with a strong academic legacy. His father, the late Chief Ebenezer Olugeshin Lucas, was a pioneer educationist who founded Ilesa Grammar School in 1934. Chief Lucas’ contributions to education were recognised with the esteemed title of Bajulaiye of Erin-Ijesha in 1964. Professor Lucas’ mother, Mrs. Felicia O. Lucas, was a successful trader who passed on in 2009, leaving behind a lasting impact on her family. His academic achievements are matched only by his impressive career, which spans over four decades. He was educated at the following institutions: St. John’s Primary School, Iloro, Ilesa (1950-1957), Ilesa Grammar School (1958-1962), Federal School of Science, Onikan, Lagos (1963-1966), University of Ibadan, Ibadan (1966-1969), Wye College (University of London), where he obtained M.Sc.

Throughout his illustrious academic career, he received numerous prestigious scholarships, prizes and honours, including Cocoa Marketing Board Scholarship at the University of Ibadan (1966-1969); In-Service Training Fellowship (NIFOR) at the Wye College (University of London) from 1971 to 1975; International Atomic Energy Vienna Fellowship at the University of Western Australia (1987); and Research Associate in the Department of Crop Science at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada (1988-1989). His distinguished career spans several prestigious institutions, including the Ministry of Lagos Affairs, the Nigerian Institute for Oil Palm Research (NIFOR), and the University of Ibadan, where he rose through the ranks to become a Professor of Agronomy. Additionally, he served as a visiting Professor at the University of Fort Hare in Alice, South Africa, from 1999 to 2001. Also, he served as a Consultant to the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) in Rural Development (1981) and Sustainable Agriculture (1993). His expertise has also been sought as an External Examiner for numerous universities in Nigeria and abroad. In addition, his expertise in Agronomy has been recognised globally, with numerous publications in local and international journals Professor Lucas had a profound impact on the academic community, supervising 14 Ph.D students and notably, produced the first female Ph.D. holder in Agronomy in Southern Africa, paving the way for future generations of women in Agriculture. This quintessential academic is a distinguished member of various prestigious learned societies, including Agriculture Society of Nigeria, Institute of Biology and American Society of Institute of Biology and American Society of Agronomy.These memberships underscore his commitment to academic excellence and his contribution to the fields of Agriculture and Biology. Between 1984 and 2007, Prof. Lucas demonstrated his commitment to academia and governance through various public service appointments. Here are the key roles he played during this period: Chairmanship Roles Chairman, Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry, University of Ibadan Practical Training Programme (1984-1986); and Chairman, Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry Consultancy Committee (1988-1992). Leadership Positions President, University of Ibadan Staff Club (1990-1992); Dean, Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry, University of Ibadan (1992-1994); Dean, Postgraduate School (1994-1995) and Head of the Department of Agronomy (2002-2005).

Aside from his distinguished academic career, Professor Lucas is a prolific writer with a diverse range of publications. His notable works, include: 1. Sixty Landmarks (2008) – a publication marking the 60th anniversary of the University of Ibadan, co-edited with Emeritus Professor Femi Osofisan and Mark Aken’Ova; 2.

Professor Lucas’ literary contributions demonstrate his versatility and commitment to storytelling, social critique and academic excellence. I have complimentary copies of these publications, courtesy of Professor Bode Lucas. Despite his many achievements, Professor Lucas remains humble and committed to giving back to society. His impact on education is excellent. The University of Ibadan community is grateful to him for his remarkable contributions to education. Even in retirement, Professor Lucas continues to inspire and nurture academic excellence through his generous endowments. In 2010, Professor Lucas selflessly utilised his gratuity to establish two endowments totaling Two Million Naira. These endowments, which are awarded in perpetuity, demonstrate his commitment to fostering a culture of excellence and innovation. The first endowment, dedicated to the Postgraduate College, provides an annual award of N100,000 to the producer of the best thesis in the University. This award not only recognises outstanding research but also encourages postgraduate students to strive for excellence. The second endowment, established at the Faculty of Agriculture, comprises two annual awards: the Best Final Year Student award and the Best Practical Year Student award, each receiving N50,000. These awards motivate undergraduate students to excel in their academic pursuits and practical applications. His endowments embody his dedication to education and his desire to empower future generations. His legacy serves as a shining example of the impact one individual can have on the academic community. As I acknowledge Professor Lucas’ remarkable contributions, I also celebrate the students who have benefited and will continue to benefit from his endowments. The University of Ibadan and the academic community at large are grateful for Professor Lucas’ enduring legacy. His endowments will continue to inspire and reward outstanding academic achievements for many generations. His legacy serves as an inspiration to future generations of academics, researchers and public servants. In celebrating this visionary academic, on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, the Postgraduate College, University of Ibadan, proudly celebrated the 80th birthday of the quintessential academic, This momentous occasion was marked with an interdisciplinary discourse, featuring a keynote lecture titled, “Integrating the Past with the Present for Efficient Administration of the University System” delivered by the 12th Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Professor Abel Idowu Olayinka, FAS. The event also included a panel discussion on “Leveraging Technology to Transform Postgraduate Education in Africa,” featuring distinguished Professors from the University of Ibadan: Francis Egbokhare, FNAL, Department of Linguistics and African Languages, Segun Ajiboye, MNAE, FAPPRA, Department of Arts and Social Science Education and Aina Adeogun, Department of Zoology. The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Kayode Adebowale, mni, FAS, presided over the event, while the Provost of the Postgraduate College, Professor A. S.O. Ogunjuyigbe, was the host. The event was to honour Professor Lucas’ life achievements, profound impact on academia, society and celebrate his transformative power of dedication, hard work and visionary leadership. I have had the privilege of experiencing Prof Lucas’ extraordinary humility firsthand. He relates with people of all ages with remarkable warmth and equality as if they were lifelong friends. His exceptional social skills have earned him a reputation of a remarkable socialite. One instance that stands out in my mind is when he addressed me with his characteristic warmth, saying, “Director, you are my friend’. I was deeply touched when he took the time to write a heartfelt message on my 60th birthday, on Wednesday, 19 February, 2025, “Director, happy birthday to you. Since I have known you as a media expert, I have been impressed by your professionalism. You’ve been an asset to our community, celebrating many individuals and bringing joy to others. May God celebrate you too. I wish you a long, healthy life, filled with continued productivity and service to God and humanity. Enjoy your special day”. I am truly grateful for his kind words and do not take his thoughtfulness for granted. Finally, Professor Ephraim Olabode Olusegun Lucas is a shining example of academic excellence, public service and community development. His contributions to Nigeria and the global academic community are immeasurable, and his legacy will continue to inspire and motivate us for generations to come.
Happy happy 80th birthday, Sir. Enjoy your years ahead as usual in the sunshine of life, Sir. Cheers!
