Chairman of Warri South Local Government Area, Dr. Michael Ejueyitsi Tidi has congratulated Dr. Musibau Babatunde, an Economist from the University of Ibadan, on his new appointment as the Chief Economic Adviser by the Governor of Oyo state.
Dr. Tidi apparently delighted at the appointment of the UI Don, who served as his thesis supervisor during his Doctorates sojourn at the University of Ibadan, averred that the appointment is a square peg in a square hole, and undoubtedly well deserved.
According to Dr. Tidi ” On hearing the news that Dr. Musibau Tunji Babatunde — a renowned Economist, Associate Professor in the prestigious University of Ibadan, being appointed as the Chief Economic Adviser to the government of Oyo state gives me much delight. He [Dr. Babatunde] is one of the select few who understands the rudiments of economics, and its translation into policies to serve the needs of the people. ”
” I had the privilege to work closely with him whilst studying for my Doctorates in Economics [Energy Studies], and his in-depth knowledge, analysis and positive scrutiny were much helpful, no wonder he’s currently being considered as a Professor in the prestigious University of Ibadan, one that takes a rare feat of distinction. I strongly believe this new appointment will consolidate on previous successes, and reposition Oyo to greater heights through good economic policy formulations. “, Dr. Tidi added.
