Abstract
Vice-Chancellor Sir, I regard it a singular honour and distinct
privilege by divine grace of Almighty God, Creator of the
universe, supreme Architect of the "Environment" (my special
field of intellectual interest), to stand before this distinguished
audience and render an account based on my three decades
plus experience oh the intellectual trail. I could not have asked
for a better place to have the unique experience of this day. A
little over three decades ago, in 1968 having passed out with
distinction, a year earlier from the renowned girls Secondary
School, Queens School Ede, (now Ibadan) I was admitted as
a relatively young teenage Undergraduate into the pre-law
.degree programme at this very citadel of learning ~ "University
of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University). that spelt the
early beginnings of that which destiny had marked out to be a
fulfilling career in legal intenttialisni (in the Ministry of Justice
where I transferred from as Principal State Counsel to join the
service of this University as Lecturer Lin December 1982).
Fortuitously, in 1998, three decades later under your
remarkable Vice-Chancellorship I was pronounced Professor
of Law with effect from 1st October, 1995. I appreciate the
opportunity afforded me by the Senate of the Obafemi
Awolowo University which confirmed my elevation to the
professorial chair, to deliver this inaugural lecture barely a
year from the date of the official announcement of my
promotion to the rank of Professor
