Church Prelates, erudite scholars, dignitaries, among other members of the Nigerian society filled the great Oduduwa Hall at the Obafemi Awolowo University in ile-Ife March 8, 2022 to attend the 359th series inaugural lecture of the great citadel of learning.
The audience who listened with keen attention was mesmerised by the stunning performance of Professor Motunrayo Funke Olumakaiye, fondly referred to as Mama Lagos Province by clergy and worshippers of the Lagos Archdiocese and indeed the entire Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), as she delivered a mind–blowing lecture titled “Smart Teens Understanding The Nagic Bullet To Break Malnutrition Cycle, Journey To The World Of alAdolescent Nutrition”.
A statement made available to journalists by Venerable Folorunsho Agbelusi, Public Relations Officer, Diocese of Lagos, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), informed that Olumakaiye, a Professor of Public health and nutrition, delivered the first-ever lecture in the newly established department of Human nutrition and dietetics of the Obafemi Awolowo University .
Read the statement: “We are ever proud of you our Archbishop’s wife, for the high standard of excellence which has earned her such milestone achievements both in the religious and secular parlance. We as well say a big congratulation to our Archbishop, Diocesan and Missioner, Most Revd (Dr.) Humphrey Bamisebi Olumakaiye for the support which has yielded the desired result.
“We also thank and congratulate the Vice Chancellor of Obafemi Awolowo University, Professor Eyitope O. Ogunbodede for hosting the entire Diocese of Lagos creditably well.”
