A New Award for Toyin Falola

[Adeshina Afolayan]

Toyin Falola bagged Distinguished Award for Academic Excellence at University of Ibadan

The Union of Campus Journalists (UCJ), University of Ibadan, today added another honor to the already brimming chest of Professor Toyin Falola. The UCJ is one of the few student groups on the University of Ibadan campus that has maintained a consistent tradition of character-molding and extra-curricular professional training for its members. Yours sincerely is also proud to have been a fringe member of this unique body in the early 90s as a student cub columnist. The association has maintained its reputation since then. In fact, its guest lecturer at today induction and award ceremony was Koláwolé Olátúnbosún, an award-winning journalist, writer, linguist, teacher, translator, culture activist. And Koláwolé Olátúnbosún was the president of UCJ from 2002 to 2004! The UCJ also counts amongst its own Tolu Ogunlesi (the Special Adviser to the Nigerian President on New Media), Fisayo Soyombo (of the online newspaper, TheCables), Gbenga Salau and Olaiya Templer (The Guardian Newspapers), etc. 

In his lecture at the occasion, Mr Koláwolé Olátúnbosún shared his passions about writing, his experiences, both sweet and bitter, in journalism, his Yoruba language advocacy and his commitment to cultural consciousness. According to him, the state of cultural degradation in Nigeria is too deplorable. And this is not only in the curious diminishing of the, say, Yoruba language, but also in the terrible neglect of cultural sites and the pig-headed demolition of cultural places. The guest lecturer shared some of his painful experiences in reporting these occurrences. But in spite of these experiences, according to him, the imperative of truth is very significant to reportage, and the reportage especially of cultural dislocations in the Nigerian national space. When government officials assiduously prevent the revelation of information that put them on the spot, then journalists also must not relent in pursuing the truth about their misdeeds. Journalism, for Koláwolé Olátúnbosún, “journalism is too important to be left to journalists alone.” This statement speaks not only to his own passion as a journalist without any training in journalism, but also to the hearts of the eager faces of the members of UCJ as well as their new inductees who were charged to take journalism and their responsibility to the community to heart.   

What the UCJ calls its Famous Five Awards is a 29-year old organisational tradition which recognizes and honor great individuals who have impacted their fields of endeavor. This year’s ceremony has five categories—politics, academics, journalism (of course!), entrepreneurship and technology. His Excellency Kashim Shettima, the governor of Borno state, got the award in the political category; the multiple award-winner, Ms Toyosi Ogunseye of the Punch Newspaper is the awardee in journalism; the award for entrepreneurship went to Mr Mene Blessing, the CEO of an up and rising agricultural business initiative focusing on livestock feeds; Mr Joel Ogunsola was honoured in the technology category for social and technological entrepreneurship.

 

And the Distinguished Award for Academic Excellence went to Professor Toyin Omoyeni Falola, of the University of Texas at Austin, who has dedicated his academic prowess in “repositioning, retelling and restructuring the narratives of the Yoruba people and Africans as a race.” 

The UCJ president, Oredola Ibrahim, remarked that “all the five awardees [were] carefully chosen, and in this era of virtue scarcity, I can say that these people are role models…”

Toyin Falola is in a class of his own.

Perhaps a body of ideas and a strategy of scholarship can be developed, if they have  not been already, inspired by his multi-disciplinary work.

While it is no longer a surprise to hear news of an honor being awarded to our own Professor Toyin Falola, it is worthwhile to take a moment to reflect upon the deliberations through which any organization or institution makes the decision to grant such a recognition.  The Union of Campus Journalists has its own history, culture, purpose, and hopes, of which these awards are emblematic.  We are gratified that they have found echo of their own vision in the works and spirit of the inimitable Toyin Falola, humanity's treasure trove.  The traffic of brilliance, imagination, industriousness, generosity, and humor will only continue to intensify.  Congratulations both to my friend and the UCJ!

[Olajumoke Yacob-Haliso]

I was once a member of the UCJ at the University of Ibadan, being Managing Editor of my departmental press in my final year as an undergraduate, and I must say that it is very heartening that they have kept up a tradition of unalloyed excellence and commitment to positive values in the midst of a daily decaying academic ambience that fosters mediocrity and inanity. The very fact that this year they by-passed the many faux-intellectuals parading themselves in universities in this country to select an original, perhaps one might add, an archetype, Professor Falola, shows that those young people have their heads screwed on right. This is indeed encouraging given the disturbingly prevalent lack of vision and mission one encounters teaching young people in Nigeria.

May the UCJ UI ever progress. May Professor Falola ever dictate the pace for all others.

[Awosika Itunu]

Warm congratulations on this award and additional feather to your VERY

whom it is due.

A well deserved award from the nations premier university to the trail blazer and untiring intellectual that Prof Falola is.

Also, I seize the opportunity to join others in extending my felicitations to earlier awardees Prof Wariboko and my good friend Prof Dasylva.

The latter has shown since ou r period of novitiate in the literarary arts that he is destined for highest echelons of scholarship. Gratifying to note he has redeemed such potentials. 

I know our paths cannot but continue to cross in the immediate and foresseable future as gardners in vineyard of orality.

Congratulations!

While it is no longer a surprise to hear news of an honor
being awarded to our own Professor Toyin Falola, it is
worthwhile to take a moment to reflect upon the
deliberations through which any organization or institution
makes the decision to grant such
a recognition.  The Union of Campus Journalists has
its own history, culture, purpose, and hopes, of which
these awards are emblematic.  We are gratified that they
have found echo of their own vision in the works and spirit
of the inimitable Toyin Falola,
humanity's treasure trove.  The traffic of brilliance,
imagination, industriousness, generosity, and humor will
only continue to intensify.  Congratulations both to my
friend and the UCJ!

Baba Agbalagba Eegun Ologbojo, Ako Erinmi
Opitan! Congratulations for this well deserved and unique
Award! To be so distinguished and honored by our younger
generation for your quality of mind and  contribution to
knowledge is to, among other things,
draw attention to virtues that have become rare commodity
in our society, and to encourage others to emulate. "O
ku nibon ro", please keep up the good work.

Cheers,

Ademola Dasylva
