I Remember presented in Lagos, Abuja next

L-R: Senator Bode Olajumoke, Prof. Akinlawon Mabogunje (CON), Prof. Ladipo Adamolekun (Author) and Mrs. Titi Adamolekun

The maiden presentation of I Remember, an autobiography by Prof. Ladipo Adamolekun, took place on Thursday, May 12, 2016, at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs (NIIA) Hall, Victoria Island, Lagos.
There will be a second public presentation in Abuja on Tuesday, May 17, at Merit House, Maitama, at 11am.
Adamolekun is a veteran scholar of public administration.
I Remember, which is in six parts, chronicles Adamolekun’s rise from a humble background to a distinguished career in academia and public service.
Anthony Akinola, an Oxford-based Nigerian public intellectual, said Adamolekun’s autobiography has some messages for everyone.
“His parental upbringing has a message for parents generally; his exploits as a student at school and university have a strong message for students. Of course, his experiences as an accomplished academic at various universities (University of Ife, in particular), and as a leading professional at the World Bank, should provide useful guidance to those who seek to operate at the highest level of their profession. A book that serves as a role model for generations, it is with great enthusiasm and a sense of professional honesty, that I recommend I Remember to individuals and libraries worldwide,” he said.
Adamolekun has won many honours and distinctions within and outside the country, including the Nigerian National Order of Merit (NNOM) award – the “highest national prize for academic and intellectual attainment” – conferred on him in December 2005.
