Nigerian Professor Breaks 187-Year Record At University of London

A Nigerian academic, Prof. Abiodun Alao, has  delivered a professorial inaugural lecture at King’s College, University of London, making him the first black African scholar to do so since it was established in 1829.

Alao, a professor of African Studies, was conferred with professorial title about two years ago alongside his Nigerian counterpart in the institution’s African Leadership Centre, Prof. Funmi Olonisakin, making them the first black Africans to attain  professorial cadre at the university since its establishment.

The appointments have been confirmed  by the institution’s President & Principal, Prof. Edward Byrne AC, which justified their elevations at the instance of their contributions to African peace and security.

 Alao had published several books, well-researched journal articles and  papers, among others, which have largely helped establish peace and boost security in many African countries.”

"gallant sons of Africa are taking their rightful positions for peace and security for humanity" bravo and kudos
