Oyebanji to deliver Afe Babalola Distinguished Personality lecture 

Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, will deliver the 2026 edition of the annual Afe Babalola Distinguished Personality Lecture at Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD) on Tuesday, April 14, 2026.

The lecture, themed: “Building Legacies: The Role of Governance in Ensuring Continuity and Seamless Succession,” will take place at the 10,000-seater Alfa Belgore Multi-Purpose Hall within the university campus.

The Afe Babalola Distinguished Personality Lecture Series was established in 2021 by the Department of Conflict, Peace and Strategic Studies in honour of the university’s Founder and Chancellor, Aare Afe Babalola (SAN).

Organisers say the event is designed to stimulate thoughtful discourse on the future of leadership in Ekiti State and beyond.
