The Ondo community, led by the Osemawe of Ondo Kingdom, Oba Victor Adesimbo Kiladejo, has lauded the outgoing Vice Chancellor of the University of Medical Sciences (UNIMED), Ondo, Prof. Adesegun Fatusi, for his outstanding achievements in office.

To celebrate the medical icon and administrator who has completed his tenure as Vice Chancellor of the university, the community organised a valedictory programme for him where he was celebrated.

Oba Kiladejo, who described Fatusi as a “Prince” of Ondo Kingdom, said, “Professor Adesegun Fatusi has left indelible footprints on the sand of time with the unprecedented achievements the University recorded under his watch.”

He added that “history and posterity will never forget him as nobody can erase his remarkable accomplishments.”

The Governor of Ondo State, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, represented by his Special Adviser on Health, Professor Simidele Odimayo, corroborated the position of the Osemawe, saying that “Professor Fatusi has been exceptional and as a ‘Prince of the palace’, your services will still be required even after leaving.”

Former Governor Olusegun Mimiko, the pioneer visitor of UNIMED, who established the university in 2014, said, “the University couldn’t have had a better Vice-Chancellor than Fatusi.”

He described him as “calm and innovative.” He then added that “Adesegun Fatusi is one man I am ready to go to war with based on his remarkable achievements and honesty of purpose at all times.”
