Al-Hikmah University names Prof. Oladimeji as new Vice-Chancellor

Governing Council confirms 6th Vice-Chancellor

Al-Hikmah University has named Professor Lateef Folorunsho Oladimeji as its 6th substantive Vice-Chancellor.

Before this appointment, Prof. Oladimeji led the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences as Dean. But his service to the school runs much deeper than a single role.

A familiar face in Al-Hikmah's leadership

Over the years, Prof. Oladimeji has helped shape the university. He was:

• The first Head of the Islamic Studies Department
• Part of the University Senate since inception
• The first Registrar and Secretary to Council
• Founding Director of the Centre for Part-Time and Professional Studies
• Former Director of both CRIIC and the Information Unit
• Former Director of Academic Planning
• Most recently, Deputy Vice-Chancellor

In 2022, he also gave the university's first-ever inaugural lecture, titled "Roving Preachers of the Message: Deconstructing Da'wah Across Borders".

Final word

His deep roots in Al-Hikmah and strong academic background speak for themselves. Congratulations to Prof. Oladimeji on this well-earned step forward.
