During his acceptance address, Prof. Alabi reflected on his journey with UPSA—how he encountered the university at a modest state and led its transformation into the world-class institution it is today. He emphasized that true institutional excellence is not accidental but a product of consistent values and disciplined leadership.

He shared profound words that resonated deeply with the audience:
“Vision must meet integrity; hard work must meet teamwork.”
According to him, these guiding principles shaped the culture, strategy, and achievements of UPSA during his tenure and continue to serve as pillars for sustainable growth in any institution.
