His extensive research, publications, and policy engagements have shaped discussions on African governance, peace and development, and international relations. His work with the United Nations has also played a crucial role in peacebuilding across several African countries.

A passionate advocate for Africa’s progress, Professor Badejo has written extensively on topics such as corruption, leadership deficits, democracy, and the preservation of African culture and consciousness. His scholarship continues to influence policy and inspire a new generation of African intellectuals.

The honour is coming shortly after Professor Badejo celebrated his 70th birthday, marking a lifetime of contributions to academia, diplomacy, and public service. The award stands as a testament to his dedication and serves as an inspiration for future African leaders.
