This discussion leads us to reflect on the qualities possessed by Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji (BAO) and his accomplished wife, Dr. (Mrs.) Olayemi Olajumoke Oyebanji, the Academic First Lady of Ekiti State. BAO assumed office as the 12th Governor of Ekiti State on October 16, 2022, and has since taken significant actions to improve the political, economic, and social well-being of the state.
However, the focus of this piece is primarily on Dr. Olayemi Olajumoke Oyebanji and her recent visit to Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti. During this visit, she demonstrated her deep-rooted Yoruba values and “Omoluabi” virtues, which reflect a person’s well-rounded character, including proper education (eko ile). This “Yorubanness” and commitment to values were evident as she humbly knelt before Aare Afe Babalola, OFR, CON, SAN, a respected figure in Yorubaland and a founding father of Ekiti State, during her visit to ABUAD.
In Yoruba culture, an “Omoluabi” is someone who embodies proper behavior, education, and respect for others. The unity and shared values between BAO and his wife, Dr. Olayemi Oyebanji, are akin to the Yoruba saying, “Can two walk together except they be agreed?” Their alignment on many fronts is evident.
Dr. Olayemi Oyebanji, a Senior Lecturer at the University of Ibadan with numerous publications to her credit, offered to collaborate with ABUAD by teaching part-time, mentoring students, and contributing to community service. She aims to give back to the university and society, aligning with ABUAD’s reputation as the top university in Nigeria, according to Times Higher Education Impact Rankings.
Furthermore, Dr. Oyebanji introduced her philanthropic initiative, Widows, Aged, Orphans, and the Homeless (WAOH), which she plans to officially launch during the first anniversary of her husband’s tenure as Governor. She sought Aare Afe Babalola’s support for this project, emphasizing its potential to positively impact vulnerable individuals in Ekiti State.
Aare Afe Babalola praised Dr. Olayemi Oyebanji’s philanthropic spirit and her focus on human capital development. He commended her offer to teach at ABUAD, recognizing the significant influence this would have on students. Babalola also pledged his support for the WAOH project, emphasizing the transformative power of small acts of giving.
Dr. Olayemi Olajumoke Oyebanji’s visit to ABUAD showcased her commitment to education, mentorship, and community service. Her dedication to philanthropy and academic excellence resonated with Aare Afe Babalola’s values, earning her accolades as a truly exemplary First Lady.
The Founder of ABUAD commended her accomplishments in academia, acknowledged her contributions to knowledge through research, and promised his support for her philanthropic endeavors. He emphasized the significance of small contributions in making a meaningful impact on the lives of others.
In summary, Dr. Olayemi Olajumoke Oyebanji embodies the qualities of a true First Lady, combining education, philanthropy, and community service to uplift society. Her visit to ABUAD was a testament to her dedication to making a positive difference in the lives of others.
