Adegboye gives hint about memoir, once sold banana to survive

He further said that he was offered a teaching position on a silver platter. “I was offered the position of Assistant Lecturer at my alma mater, Ahmadu Bello University, in October 1968. Then the upward journey began, by the grace of God. I rose from there to Lecturer 3, Lecturer 2, Lecturer 1, Senior Lecturer, Reader and then Professor in 1985.”

He was appointed head of the Department of Biological Sciences at ABU and later elected dean of the Faculty of Science at the same university. Both the department and the faculty were considered the largest in Black Africa, as he was dean at the time.

Professor Adegboye gave up his academic achievements in the early 1990s. He took early retirement from ABU and dedicated himself to the mission. He resisted the temptation to take up a teaching position in the US after his PhD from the University of Illinois, saying he had made a vow to return to Nigeria to do missions.

He told the Church Times that the story of his life as a missionary evangelist and his experiences serving the Lord for more than 60 years are being brought together in a memoir
