Veteran Nigerian musician, Ebenezer Obey, is now professor emeritus at the Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago Iwoye, Ogun State.

 

The commander, in this new era of his life, will work as a visiting artiste in the Department of English and Performing Arts of the institution.

Obey has since said that he regards the investiture as a great honour that he will hold dear to his heart.

 

“I humbly accept the offer and assure the university authorities that as one of the legendary custodians of music in Africa and beyond, I promise to bring to bear my age-long experience in this industry for the maximum benefits of the students in particular and the university in general,” he said.
