Date: 2026-02-13

The Vice Chancellor of African School of Economics (The Pan-African University of Excellence), Abuja, Prof Mahfouz Adedimeji, has said he is yet to recover from the shock of the death of the late Director of the Linguistic Immersion Centre, University of Ilorin, Prof Badmas Olanrewaju Yusuf. He stated that the professor's passing represents not only a loss to the University of Ilorin, the Ilorin Emirate and Nigeria, but also a significant loss to humanity.

In a statement he personally signed, Adedimeji described Yusuf as a role model whose distinctive blend of Islamic scholarship, Western education and Ilorin cultural heritage shaped a compelling personality. He added that the late academic's life and contributions would continue to inspire both present and future generations.

Adedimeji portrayed the former Dean of the Postgraduate School and ex-Provost of the Kwara State College of Arabic and Islamic Studies as a paragon of virtues, noting that his exemplary lifestyle earned him admiration across social and geographical divides.

The pioneer Vice Chancellor of Ahman Pategi University and Chairman of the Editorial Board of Unilorin Bulletin stated that the honesty, simplicity, humility, affability, accessibility and versatility of the late Yusuf who was a cleric, scholar, administrator, public intellectual, community leader, public speaker, bridge builder and devoted family man should serve as a model for Nigerians across regions and faiths. He also advocated the establishment of a foundation in his memory to facilitate scholarly studies on his remarkable personality and enduring legacy.

Prof Adedimeji extended his condolences to the Emir of Ilorin, His Royal Highness, Dr Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari; the Vice Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Prof Wahab Egbewole, SAN; the family of the deceased, including the immediate past Sub-Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Dr Abdul Hameed Badmas Yusuf; and others.

He prayed that Almighty Allah grants the deceased Aljannah Firdaos.
