A Professor of Philosophy at Olabisi Onabanjo University, Professor Babajide Olugbenga Dasaolu, is set to deliver the institution’s 126th inaugural lecture, focusing on the intersection of morality, religion, and societal beliefs.
The lecture, titled “For the ‘Animal-Witches’ We Kill in the Name of God: A Moralist’s Petition,” will hold on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at the OGD Lecture Theatre, OOU Main Campus, Ago-Iwoye. It is expected to draw scholars, students, and members of the public interested in ethical discourse and contemporary religious issues.
Dasaolu, who specializes in African and Applied Ethics and currently serves as Dean of the Faculty of Arts, is anticipated to examine controversial cultural narratives and challenge prevailing perceptions tied to superstition and religious justification for violence.
The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ayodeji O. J. Agboola, will chair the event, which begins at 2:00 p.m., with guests expected to be seated by 1:30 p.m. The lecture will also be accessible virtually via Zoom and YouTube livestream.
