Dr. Olayemi Jumoke Biodun-Oyebanji, the wife of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji of Ekiti State, yesterday, paid a courtesy visit to the Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan (UI), Professor Kayode Adebowale to appreciate the University Management for granting her the opportunity to serve the nation and for elevating to the rank of a Reader (Associate Professor) in the Department of Educational Management.
Noting that the elevation had greatly lifted her up in the estimation of all and sundry, she assured the institution that she would return to the University after the tenure of her husband.

She informed the VC that since she became the first lady of Ekiti State, she had supervised five PhD graduates and is still co-supervising others.
Biodun-Oyebanji is a Reader in the Department of Educational Management, Faculty of Education, and she is currently on leave from the University of Ibadan.
In his response, Adebowale commended her for being a good ambassador of the University, noting that she had allowed her academic knowledge to impact her relationship and services to the citizens of Ekiti State.
He commended the Ekiti State first lady for personally hiring adjunct lecturers to teach her courses in her department in order to mitigate the effect of her being away from the University.
