He posted, "How My dad assumed the role of Provost at the College of Education, Ikere-Ekiti, and within just one year, he and his team transformed it into a University. On the 8th of March, Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science, and Technology will hold its very first convocation.”

His caption read,  "My Dad has been a Professor for 16 Years. He's taught me everything I needed to know about academics, leadership and humility. 

“I often ask, 'Dad, at what age did you finish university? He'd proudly say, '21 with a 2:1. And I'd respond, "Well, I finished at 19 with a First Class! His Masters at 23 and mine at 21. He started his PhD at 33. I started at 24.

“Then he would say, "But I'm a Professor, and you're not. That's why I want to be a Professor so that when he says that again, I can say, ‘I am a Professor too!’ Join me in honouring Prof. O.V. Adeoluwa-an incredible father, mentor, and trailblazer.”

Enioluwa also emphasised the importance of education in response to a comment, declaring, "School isn't a scam. Even if you don't end up directly using the knowledge, it's important to have it for when the opportunity arises. 

“Beyond academics, school teaches invaluable life skills -time management, completing tasks, life scheduling, coexisting in groups, and collaborating with others. It's about more than just what's taught in the classroom, Go to school.”
