Engr. Rauf Aregbesola had his primary and secondary education in Ondo State, and later attended the Polytechnic, Ibadan, where he studied Mechanical Engineering and graduated in 1980.
An associate member of the American Institute of Industrial Engineers (AIIE), member of the Nigerian Institute of Management (NIM) and a Fellow of Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), Nigerian Association of Technological Engineers (NATE) and Certified Marketing Communications Institute of Nigeria (CMCIN), Rauf Aregbesola has a wealth of experience garnered through dint of hard work in both the public and private sectors such as the Nigerian External Telecommunications now renamed Nigerian Telecommunications Ltd. and Lagos Airport Hotel before establishing his own Engineering Services Company, Aurora Nigeria Limited, in 1986. The company had since its establishment handled numerous major projects for both government and private organizations in most States of the federation.
Politically, he has been no less active and forthright. His involvement dates back to his undergraduate days when he was speaker of the Students’ Parliament (1977/78) at the Polytechnic, Ibadan and the President of the Black Nationalist Movement (1978-1980). He was also an active supporter of other progressive students’ movement nationwide, which earned him, for instance, the life membership of National Association of Technological Students. In June 1990, he became an elected delegate to the SDP Inaugural Local Government Area Congress. In July of the same year, he was also a delegate to its first National Convention in Abuja.
Engr. Aregbesola as a pro-democracy and human rights activist was a major participant in the demilitarization and pro-democracy struggles of the 1990s. He is equally active in community associations, especially in Alimosho, his base, where he remains the Secretary to the LGA Elders’ Forum to date. Prior to his appointment as the Lagos State Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure (1999 till date) he was Director of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Campaign Organization (BATCO), which engineered the electoral victory of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the Governor of Lagos State in 1999. He performed similar feat using the platform of Independent Campaign Group (ICG) to ensure the re-election of Asiwaju for a second term in office.
Since his appointment and re-appointment, Engineer Aregbesola has continued to confound all with the strength of his commitment to selfless service. His diligence, sincerity and tirelessness in the administration of the vast Ministry of Works and Infrastructure as well as supervision of the Public Works Corporation and State Electricity Board has been acknowledged as being responsible for the outstanding success that has been recorded by the present Lagos State administration especially in road rehabilitation/maintenance and street lighting.
To date, Engr. Aregbesola has successfully rehabilitated about 841 roads, through the Public Works Corporation’s Operation Tax Payers Money in Action and over 600 roads through the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure’s Operation Patch it Well. These two agencies working round the year through road maintenance gangs work by day and night.
In addition the Ministry has awarded about 445 (As at 1st April 2005) roads projects to facilitate socio-economic activities in the State.
Other noble and people-centered programmes of the Ministry include the all year round drainage clearing gang (Drain Ducks), which has cleared over 1250 KM of drains all around Lagos and the establishment of round the year streetlight maintenance programme.
Within this same period, the Ministry under his able leadership has also renovated 665 staff quarters and furnished over 300. An exercise that no government has embarked on over the last 20 years.
The Ministry has been able to supplement the National Electric Power Authority’s power supply with an additional 270 Megawatts through the Independent Power Project. This was the hallmark of the first term of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Administration in Lagos State. Discussions are still ongoing to bring in more private investors into power sector.
Several other novel achievements and innovations due to his visionary qualities and enterprise include the redefinition and application of new aesthetic standards to ministry blocks and offices as corporate workplaces; vision and mission definition, annual staff retreats & modern manpower capacity building trainings; introduction of facility management practices; pioneering achievements in PR (ministry journal) and IT (website) operation; Pioneering Private/Public Sector Partnership Ventures; Award-winning best practices projects; etc.
The strings of awards that have trailed the life of the Honourable Commissioner are eloquent testimonies of all that has been said about him. Earlier in his working life, Engr. Rauf Aregbesola was decorated with the War Against Indiscipline (WAI) Badge of Excellence at the Kujama Satellite Earth Station of the Nigerian Telecommunications Ltd.

Osun State University has continued to grow in leaps and bounds with the recent inauguration of seven new departments by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Labode Popoola in the Faculty of Basic and Applied Sciences of the university.
The newly inaugurated departments are the Department of Zoology, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Department of Biochemistry, Department of Microbiology, Department of Physics, Department of Plant Biology and the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry.
In their respective welcome remarks at the inauguration ceremony held on Tuesday, September 25, 2018 at the College of Science Engineering and Technology’s Board Room in the Main Campus, Osogbo, the Provost of the College, Professor Samson Akinola and the Dean, Faculty of Basic and Applied Sciences, Professor Isreal Oyewole thanked the Vice-Chancellor for giving the Faculty all necessary support to attain its current growth status.
They however urged the management not to rest on its oars in continuously giving support to the Faculty to enable it surmount various challenges being faced in the Faculty.

The Vice-Chancellor maintained that the University is particularly concerned with the welfare of the departments with focus of provision of additional resources to make them function well. He thanked the College for their efforts in the last accreditation exercise the outcome of which has been very positive in spite of the industrial action embarked upon by the non-teaching unions.

He said their commitment and diligence in the exam processing contributed to the success recorded in the last NYSC mobilization exercise in the university.
“Curricula are changing every day all over the world. Review of curricula is necessary to accommodate new development in the global market. Poor funding should no longer be an excuse. Money will never be enough; discipline matters. Management has continued to be prudent with the University’s meager resources while we prioritize payment of salaries as and when due,” he stated.
He hinted that the University still had some unspent TETFund money to the tune of sixty million naira tasking the teaching staff in the College to come up with research proposals that can stand the test of time. He advised the younger academics with good research ideas to work with senior professors to enable them come up with meaningful research idea.

The Vice Chancellor of Osun State University, Professor Labode Popoola was recently thrown into a happy mood when the Management of Delta State University, Abraka donated a sum of two million and fifty thousand naira cheque to Miss Lawal Karimot Omolara, a 300-level physically challenged student of History and International Relations, Osun State University.
The Vice-Chancellor was represented by Dr. Adesote Adesola, a Lecturer in the Department of History and International Relations, College of Humanity and Culture of the university during the formal cheque presentation event held on Wednesday, 19th September, 2018 in the premises of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Press Center, Alahusa, Ikeja, Lagos, where the Vice-Chancellor of Delta State University handed over cheques of a sum of two million and fifty thousand naira to Karimot.
Professor Labode Popoola expressed deep appreciation to the Vice-Chancellor, Management team and staff of Delta State University for coming to the aid of this young visionary girl regardless of regional and ethnic differences.
Professor Popoola recalled that Osun State University has similar welfare scheme not only for students but for the entire staff members of the university. He however, acknowledged the uniqueness in this rare hand of fellowship and for extending this kind of humanitarian gesture beyond and across region.
He said, “This alone is capable of fostering national cohesion and promoting inter-regional integrations.”
It will be recalled that on 28th April, 2018, The Punch Newspaper published an article through which Miss Lawal Karimot solicited for aid to relieve her of her 116-year-old agony.
In his remarks, the Vice-Chancellor of Delta State University, Professor Victor Peretomode, who was represented by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Administration), Professor (Mrs) Roseline Aziza, gave account of how Management of Delta State University picked interest in Karimot’s story, having made necessary findings to ascertain its veracity.
According to him, “The Vice-Chancellor of the Delta State University, Abraka, Professor Victor Peretomode, presented Karimot’s story to the Senate of the University at its 156th regular meeting on the 30th of April. The University Senate unanimously decided to intervene and end Karimot’s pain of sixteen years by raising the needed money through donations by members.
“In a nutshell, the story revolves around an accident she had at the age of five during which part of her foot was cut off and subsequently taken way by a dog. The inability to get the right medical attention due to financial constraints exposed Karimot to humiliation, discrimination, physical, emotional and psychological agony. In spite of her condition, her story sounded heroic and inspiring as she laboured hard to earn money no matter how little to enable her to go to school. The highlight of the story was an appeal for financial assistance for her to seek the right medical help and buy a prosthesis costing one million and eight hundred thousand naira (1,800,000).
“As part of our University’s determination to advance the cause of humanity, we are presenting Miss Karimot Lawal with a total sum of one million and eight hundred thousand naira (N1, 800,000) which is the full sum for the prosthesis as well as another two hundred and fifty thousand naira (N250,000) in order for her to complete her university education without further stress.” She concluded, as she presented the sum of N2.05million cheques to Karimot on behalf of DELSU Vice-Chancellor.
The event had in attendance, delegates from Delta State University led by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Professor (Mrs) Roseline Aziza, wife of the Vice-Chancellor, Dr. (Mrs) Otiaroghene Peremode, Professor Sani Awhefeada (University Orator), Professor (Mrs) Florenbce Ugoji (Senate Representative), Dr. Emma-Ibri Ufuophia (Senate Representative), Dr.(Mrs) Ugozi Nwabuoku (Director, Medical Services) and Mr. Freeborn Aganbi (University PRO).
Delegates from Osun State University include Dr. Adesote Adesola and Mr. Fagunwa Temitope, from the College of Humanities and Culture, Ikire.
Also in attendance are family members of the beneficiary, men of the press and a host of other well wishers.

Monsuru Adeleke is an alumnus of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria. He holds a Doctor of Philosophy degree with specialization in Public Health Entomology and Parasitology. He is a trainee of World Health Organization in Molecular Biology and Molecular Epidemiology. He is a member of Global Network in Genetic Barcoding of Life (Canada), Dipteran Morphometrics (USA), Parasitology and Public Health Society of Nigeria, Entomological Society of Nigeria and Zoological Society of Nigeria.
He began his academic career as a Demonstrator/Teaching Assistant in the Department of Biological Sciences, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta in 2004 through 2007 before joining the workforce of Crescent University, Abeokuta as an Assistant Lecturer. He later joined the service of Nigerian Institute of Medical Research (NIMR), Lagos in 2008 as a Research Fellow in Public Health Division (Molecular Parasitology Unit). Due to his passion for teaching and research, he later withdrew his services from NIMR to join the Department of Biological Science, Osun State University, Osogbo in January, 2011. Presently, he is an Associate Professor of Public Health Entomology and Parasitology.
Adeleke is a researcher to the core with much interest in vector-borne diseases. Many of his research outputs have been adjudged as pioneering and novel by many international organizations. He was part of the international team commissioned by the World Health Organization (2007-2011) to unravel the incidence of cross-border migration of black flies along the border of Nigeria and Republic of Benin and its epidemiological implications in both countries. He also conducted the field research that led to the design of novel black fly dubbed Esperanza trap for the surveillance of onchocerciasis vectors in Africa and America under the supervision of Prof Thomas Unnasch (University of South Florida, USA) and Prof Mario Rodriguez-Perez (IPN-CBG, Mexico).
The design of Esperanza trap solved the age-long global research expedition of providing viable replacement for human landing collection which has been a subject of serious ethical criticism for the surveillance of onchocerciasis vectors. The trap was evaluated in Mexico for onchocerciasis elimination programme and the results compared favourably with human landing collections. The use of the trap for vector surveillance has been adopted by International organizations and National bodies such as African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC), Jimmy Carter Centre (USA), Federal Ministry of Health in Mexico, Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, Burkina-Faso, Uganda, and several others. The publication from the research won World Health Organization/ Pan American Health Organization Best Public Health Literature of the year 2014. The latest of his ground breaking research output has just been published by Systematics Entomology (A societal Journal owned by Royal Entomological Society, United Kingdom). The article provides answer to a long debated hypothesis in black fly taxonomy that the members of Simulium damnosum complex are from incomplete ancestral polymorphism. This research was conducted through collaboration with the Applied Entomology Unit of University of Lagos, Nigeria and Auburn University, USA.
