"Every student in Landmark is involved in agricultural practice regardless of their discipline. Every staff is also involved. For instance, I have my own farm not very far from where I live."

"Here at Landmark University, we frown at anything that will lead to harassment of any sort among students, and that is why such things do not exist here ditto our sister university Convenant University, Sango Ota, Ogun State. So, I would say that putting in place a well-defined policy, and encouraging good moral lessons will bring an end to moral decadence."

"Nigeria is blessed with arable land. Anytime I travel around, I see massive sprawling land filled with grass, weed and wild plants."

"Agricultural revolution has a way of restoring the dignity of the Black race, and good meal has a way of changing our health. So, charity must begin from home just as we need to go commercial and not just teaching alone. That is our aim, and we are gradually getting there. Very shortly, we shall become the food basket of the nation."

"We have seen it with our (black) gold. We have the crude that we refine and sell abroad, but the price of our black gold is determined outside of us. We are disempowered."

"The issue of unemployment can’t be arrested without us creating massive job opportunities."

"The feedbacks have been quite encouraging. A good number of them have created their own jobs. Some have started their own farms. We have a number of them willing to take up appointments here, particularly those with first class degrees."

"Despite tremendous lobbying and financial inducement, she gave democracy a new meaning as the returning officer by standing for equity, fairness, and righteousness."

"Although the university a few years ago set up a panel headed by Deputy Vice Chancellor (Administration) Taiwo Abioye, a Professor of Stylistics and Applied Linguistics, to examine the worse cases of mark alteration, there is no certainty that this unholy practice has stopped."

"The present problem in the North, as far as education is concerned, is a gap between the North and the South and the Federal Government needs to take decisive steps in addressing the issue."

"That this inaugural lecture coincides with my 60th birthday and 30 years in academia is by the special grace of God, because it is by His grace that I am alive and well today."

"All Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are tied to Education. How then do we want to achieve all these lofty goals without education."

"But also because as stated in my earlier articles on her, she is an inventor and an academic who had brought honour to the country."

"This is more than the fact that she was the first female graduate and pioneer woman professor of computer science in Nigeria."

"But of all of our old man’s offspring Nike is the first among equals in brilliancy and academic achievements."

"Some academics had been honoured with one of the annual national awards and the NNOM. So, it would not be unusual if apart from the annual award l had recommended, if Professor (Mrs) Osofisan is also considered for the NNOM award."

"Prof Adenike Osofisan is a pioneer and role model in the field of computer science. She has taught computer science at the University of Ibadan for well over two decades now and she has successfully supervised many PhD candidates in her discipline."

"In fairness, I didn’t come across anything like sex- for-marks but I did come across discrimination that was gender and racial-biased. Some people believe that if you are a woman or black, you cannot be really good (intelligent)."

"We should go back to Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s plan. With respect to Chief Awolowo, his definition of education was that ‘it is the right of every child to be educated’ and he gave children quality and free education. The education they gave me at Ife was solid, so I was able to fit into Geogia Tech. Awolowo gave scholarships across the board to students who did very well. Some scholarships for science students included book allowance. Awolowo had a blueprint for free education before it was introduced. He was well prepared for free education compared with nowadays that people (politicians) promise free education without being fully prepared for it."

"Give and take! Forgive each other because nobody is perfect."

"We have always lived life to the full. We will continue to do the same."

"I would have loved to do certain things differently but no regrets. At the beginning I fought all battles that came my way, but with hindsight, I’ve realised that not all battles are worth fighting because you will just dissipate energy on needless battles. Don’t ask me for an example of such battles; they are personal and may cause embarrassment to some people."

"Doing what I enjoy doing."

"I have no idea. Officially I am retiring from the University of Ibadan next March. I am on accumulated leave leading to retirement. But I am not on leave in the real sense."

"Sunday is the only different day; it is the day to rest."

"I still multitask. I am involved in many activities that have to do with my home and being a wife, mother and grandmother. I work as a professor (teaching and researching), and engage in social engagements and professional and church activities. I do not have a dull moment."

"It was very difficult but not impossible. I learnt time management and multitasking from home and from my secondary school. These came in handy."

"I am grateful to God for all. Each has had its own impact in different ways, so it is difficult to identify one as being the most memorable."

"I am his first critic. He is my editor. I have read and watched all his plays. I even attend his rehearsals."

"The first two are into social sciences while the last two read computer science. However, they all have creative abilities."

"We met in my hometown – Akure – when he was commissioned by the Akure Students’ Union to stage a play. The play was about politicians and my father, Chief J. O. Adedipe, was a politician. He was a lawmaker between 1954 and 1959 and I was curious and wanted to see how the likes of my father behaved. The play was a masterpiece. So I congratulated him at the end of the play. I was not aware that we had met earlier at the park when he arrived in Akure. He later told me that I did not answer him when he greeted me earlier."

"Our stories are very interesting. He was a science pupil who became an arts pupil because of Principal D. J. Bullock. I was an arts pupil and I became a science pupil by providence. We are both familiar with the two terrains."

"Of course yes. It was not an easy thing in the past for men to accept women in authority. Even women at the time were to not as supportive as they are today. I learnt to separate motherhood from ‘workhood’, if you know what I mean. I was a completely different person in the office from who I was at home."

"I had to learn patience and to think outside the box. I was given a lot of nicknames like ‘Iron Lady’, ‘Hard-wired electronics’, etc."

"I had no culture shock. Many of my teachers in Fiwasaiye Girls’ Grammar School in Akure were foreigners from Britain, US, India and Trinidad and Tobago. I also had a pen pal. But I experienced it when I was at Comprehensive High School. One of our female teachers called me and I said yes, Mrs XYZ (not the real name)."

"I went to Georgia Tech because it was listed among the 10 best colleges for computer science education. Yes, computing education was relatively new but I studied computer science/economics at the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) and was among the first set of students that graduated in 1976. One of our lecturers then, Dr Odeyemi, already had a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Manchester as the first PhD holder in computer science in Nigeria."

"Our guardian and counsellor in Aiyetoro, Mr Olumide Kuti, encouraged me to read computer science. He asked me to go to the library to read about it because I had no idea what the discipline was about then. Aiyetoro, being an American school then, had a very good library. So I read a book on computer science and fell in love with it instantly."

"For me, mathematics is the simplest and most interesting subject that does not require cramming but understanding from basic principles. I guess the love for mathematics is natural for me. General Science was first introduced to my set at Fiwasaiye in 1966. I loved the physics portion of the general science so much and decided to convert to science from arts."

"To train a student in the university is a lot of money. We play too much politics with education, and as long as you play politics with education, things will not go well. That is the truth."

"There is no invention that doesn’t bring good and bad. However, it depends on which aspect you want to adopt."

"I was called Iron Lady for being a successful woman."

"I don’t know. Well, I was happy. You know that kind of feeling, a couple of mixed feelings. I was very happy and joyful. At the same time, I just wished my dad was still alive to witness it."

"A lot of people get it wrong. The facilities available today are more than what was available in our days. During our time, General Science was only introduced in our final year. However, today, even from primary school, children are exposed to computing, science and the like."

"As for Kudirat too, the heroine of democracy, I felt so highly elated that I am being honoured along with those two heroines. I feel proud about it."

"There are many things that make Lord’s Schools unique. They give the students holistic education and teach them the fear of the Lord. The children are trained to be good citizens of Nigeria. They also have a cattle ranch, poultry, farm, among others."

"Since we came on board, our cardinal focus has been on sustainability of our academic calendar, provision of infrastructures, decent and conducive environment for staff and students, security of lives and property and enthronement of general work ethics."

"A number of students were injured or killed in the process, in addition to a series of attacks and intimidations launched against staff of the institution, especially the examination officers."

"Professor Marietu Tenuche warned the students in 2021."

"As I will always say, we are in charge here. We won’t entertain any form of sex for marks, cultism or any other social vice. Any one found wanting in this unscrupulous act will be shown the exit door."

"The performances of our students at the Nigeria Law School has over the years been very encouraging. This is a testimony to the calibre and quality of training our students have been exposed to during their undergraduate programmes."
