“I’m exceedingly thrilled to learn of the success of Dr. Lasisi Olagunju in picking up the Dame Award this year. Just as it was last year, the award underscores the values accorded the works of Dr. Olagunju at home and abroad.

“I congratulate Dr. Olagunju for the honour that the award confers on him and commend him for the excellence that defines his works, which earned him the Dame Award for a record fourth time”, the Governor was quoted as saying.

Governor Adeleke expressed hope that his passion for truth and informed commentary will continue to make Osun proud and inspire young people in the state and beyond to be unwavering in pursuing success in their chosen fields without compromise whatsoever.
