But Kelani, 74 and best known for expertly helming Tí Olúwa Nile, Ko s’egbe, O Leku, Thunderbolt, Saworoide, AgogoEewo, Narrow Path, and Abeni, will by December 12, have no choice but to adopt the honorific title of Doctor of Letters .
The Registrar who signed the letter on behalf of the Chancellor indicated that the formal conferment of the award on Kelani and other eminent professionals appointed for the award this year will be held at the Adeline Hall at the university. “I associated with writers and academics from the beginning of my career, which gave my work a greater depth. I, therefore, appreciate the award from a reputable Institution, Lead City University. I shall continue to do my best to justify this honour and the support of my colleagues, family, friends, benefactors and our audiences everywhere,” Kelani said.
Upon conclusion of his studies at the London Film School, he returned to Nigeria, had a stint at the Nigerian Television Authority and later co-produced his first film with Adebayo Faleti, called The Dilemma of Rev. Father Michael . As a cinematographer, he also worked on most feature films produced in the celluloid era of Nigerian film. Some of the 16mm feature films he worked are Anikura; Ogun Ajaye; Iya Ni Wura; Taxi Driver; Iwa and Fopomoyo.
Well earned. Congratulations Mr Kelani.
