Professor Otiono made these donations recently in continuation of his commitment to supporting teaching and learning at the tertiary level in the country.
In his letter to UI’s immediate past Head of Department of English, Professor Ayobami Kehinde, Otiono wrote: “I have had a productive relationship with University of Ibadan’s Department of English as an alumnus and an adjunct professor.” In choosing the other two universities, Otiono revealed that he considered his recent appointment as an adjunct professor to the University of Abuja, as well as his work with Professor Hope Eghagha of University of Lagos, which also doubles as one of the three Nigerian universities that has a Memorandum of Understanding with Otiono’s home university, Carleton.
