The Chief Executive of Green Energy Limited, Prof Anthony Adegbulugbe, has been appointed as the third Chancellor of Joseph Ayo Babalola University located in Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun State.
Prof Adegbulugbe is slated to be officially installed as Chancellor on Friday, December 8.
The university, which established in 2004 under divine guidance from the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) worldwide, takes its name from the revered spiritual leader, Joseph Ayo Babalola (1904–1959).
It stands at the historic site where the late Apostle Babalola was called by God to confront the Ogobungo monster in 1928.
Noteworthy individuals have held the position of Chancellor at JABU in the past, with the former Minister of Finance under Chief Ernest Shonekan’s Interim Government, Oba Oladele Olashore (CON), as the inaugural Chancellor.
Pastor Oluwawemimo Odunaiya (FCA), co-founder of Access Bank and Vice-Chairman from 1997 to 2003, succeeded him.
Adegbulugbe, an ordained Pastor of the Christ Apostolic Church, brings a wealth of experience as an accomplished energy expert in both the public and private sectors in Nigeria and international.
His recognition extends beyond his recent appointment, as he was honored by the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, last June.
He received the inaugural University Award of Excellence in Research Practice, a prestigious acknowledgment for his outstanding knowledge-based accomplishments at global and national levels.
Furthermore, Adegbulugbe’s contributions to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Assessment Reports played a pivotal role in securing the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, shared with US Vice President Al Gore.
