Dear ABUAD Community,
On behalf of our revered Chancellor, Aare Afe Emmanuel Babalola, OFR, CON, SAN; his amiable wife and Mother of the University, Yeye Aare Modupe Babalola, FSM, FNIMN, FFPA; the Governing Council, Senate, and Management of Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD), I extend warm Easter greetings to all members of our great citadel of learning.
This season of renewal and divine grace reminds us of the enduring hope, love, and redemption that lie at the heart of our mission, which is anchored in excellence, integrity, and service.
Easter invites us to reflect on new beginnings and the power of collective purpose. Over the past year, our community has exemplified resilience and dedication, achieving remarkable breakthroughs in academics, research, and sustainable development.
Let this season inspire us to renew our passion for learning, embrace compassion, and strengthen the bonds that unite us. As we rejoice with loved ones, may we also remember those in need, extending kindness as a testament to the spirit of Easter and our Founder’s most important passion.
I pray this Easter fills your hearts with peace, your homes with joy, and your lives with renewed purpose. May the hope of Christ’s resurrection guide us as we strive to uphold ABUAD’s role as a beacon of knowledge, innovation, unalloyed leadership and Founder’s philanthropy.
Happy Easter!
Warm regards,
Prof. E. Smaranda Olarinde, FCArb, FCAI
Vice-Chancellor
