PREAMBLE
In the name of Allah, the only master of the universe. I stand before you to present the 14th in the series of inaugural lectures of the Kwara State University, Malete, the green university for community development and entrepreneurship. I give thanks to Allah for His guidance. All my adoration goes to Him for making today’s inaugural lecture a reality.
Mr. Vice-Chancellor, I joined this great university on the 1st day of August, 2018 as a Professor of Jurisprudence and International Law in the Department of Jurisprudence and Public Law in the then new College of Law (Now Faculty of Law), which I started
from the beginning as the pioneer Provost of Law and pioneer Dean of Law. I am most grateful to Prof. Abdulrasheed Na’Allah, the Pioneer Vice-Chancellor of this University, who saw the need for me to come home, to serve my community, my state. He is indeed a great man. Mr. Vice-Chancellor Sir, we really suffered to build the Faculty to standard. We are indeed grateful to Almighty God.
My presence here today marks the presentation of the First inaugural lecture from the Faculty and being the First Professor of Law, the First Inaugural Lecture from the Department of Jurisprudence and Public or any Department in the Faculty of Law. Mr. Vice-Chancellor Sir, the issues as raised in this inaugural lecture, is important for the continuous existence of this great country including my little contributions as will be seen in course of this presentation.
