McPherson Varsity Elevates Onigbinde To Professorial Cadre

A pioneer faculty member of McPherson University, Seriki Sotayo, Ogun State, Dr Isaac Oladepo Onigbinde, has been promoted to the professorial cadre with effect from October 1, 2022.
According to a statement signed by the deputy registrar, Information and Public Relations, Sanmi Enigbokan, the decision was based on the recommendation of the Appointments and Promotions Committee (Academics) at its 19th Statutory Meeting held recently, and which was subsequently ratified at the 42nd Statutory Meeting of the Governing Council of the University.

Onigbinde obtained his West African Senior School Certificate (WASSC) at Ifelodun Comprehensive Grammar School, Ilajue, Oyo State in 1996 as the overall best student. He later proceeded to University of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka, Lagos State, where he bagged a bachelor’s degree (BSc. Hons) in Psychology in 2002. He later obtained a postgraduate diploma (PGD) in Business Administration in 2005 from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Enugu State.

He thereafter capped his academic pursuit with a master’s degree (M.Sc.) in Business Administration with specialisation in Marketing from UNILAG in 2008; and a doctoral degree (Ph.D.) in Marketing and Strategic Management from Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State, in 2013. He was an Associate Research Professor in Marketing Science at the Arab Academy for Management Sciences, Cairo, Egypt (Djibouti Campus) in 2019.

Meanwhile, the vice chancellor, Prof. Francis Igbasan, has congratulated the don on his academic attainment which is well deserved, while wishing him the very best in his career and the development of the university.
