Oloyede spoke at the investiture ceremony organised by the University of Ilorin where 65 distinguished Nigerians were honoured for their contributions to the university and society at large.

The investiture formed part of the university’s ongoing 50th anniversary celebrations.

Oloyede, who was a former vice chancellor of the university, lamented that honorary degrees had become worthless.

“I was part of the team then, during my time as VC who said that University of Ilorin should not be part of the maddening crowd of awarding honorary degrees.

“You would see that the University of Ilorin would not just award degrees the way others do. I can’t remember any in the last 20 years, just because we want to be different”, he said.

While commending the university’s Vice Chancellor, Prof. Wahab Egbewole (SAN) for the innovative idea, Oloyede pledged on behalf of other awardees, that they would continue to serve the university, the nation and humanity.

Earlier, the Vice Chancellor said the honorees include 50 ambassadors, 10 alumni, and two recipients of award of excellence.

Egbewole said the ambassadors were nominated by their respective Faculties and the nominations were validated by the Centre for Advancement.
