OAU confers honorary doctoral degree on Adeboye

AUTHORITIES of Obafemi Awolowo University {OAU} Ile Ife, Osun State have honored the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch  Adejare  Adeboye with Doctor of Science {D.Sc}

Adeboye, who is an alumnus of the OAU, said the award would make him to be more committed to the development of the university.

The award was conferred on Adeboye during a special 41st convocation held at the Oduduwa Hall of the university.
According to him, the award should serve a lesson to everyone not to look down on anybody.

He said, “Today, I will talk to you about the mathematics of dreams or mathematics of fulfillment of dreams. With it, dreams can be related to linear equation. What is impossible for men is possible for God. That is why we should never write off anybody”

According to him, “Several years ago, when late Oba Adesoji Aderemi was given honorary award by this university, I said to my friend that one day, I too will like to get a honorary award of this university, my friend laughed and said if it is something that can be worked for, he has no doubt that I will get it because I am hardworking and brilliant. He said honorary award of this kind is only given to
people of high class.

But today, a special convocation is holding to award a honorary doctorate to the ordinary person of that time. I am not given this particular award today because of my scholastic work in academics. The only reason why the Senate of this university set today apart is because God want to make a dream possible.
“I have several honorary awards from different universities both within and outside the country but I waited for this one. God has made a dream come to pass. I got my Bachelor Degree in this school and I
was committed before, now I will be more committed to the well-being of the university.”
