(1) I have yet to read where the late Papa Awo laid claim to the building of UI. Every student of my generation knows that UI is the premier university of Nigeria and not of the Western Region.
(2) The First Olympic-size stadium in Africa, at Ibadan was not a figment of someone's imagination.
(3) The First Television Station in the developing world at Ibadan was real and not a utopia
(4) The Present Nigerian House in London, England, was the Western House, belonging to the Action Group Party in the West. It was later converted into a Nigerian House.
(5) The Awo Free Education Program was the best organized in the developing world
(6) The economy of the Western Region pre-independent was stronger than that of Spain and Portugal.
(7) The Western Region was the first of the three regions to have a regional university (IFE). UI, ABU, & UNN, are federal institutions.
The facts speak volumes and they are indisputable. With all due respect, I think Professor Tamuno is the one pushing a false narrative.
