OAU Congratulates Professor Kemi Rotimi on Appointment to National Policing Bill Advisory Committee

The Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) community has congratulated Professor Emmanuel Olukemi (Kemi) Rotimi of the Department of History on his appointment to the Policy Advisory Committee of the Presidential Working Group on the National Policing Bill.

Professor Rotimi has devoted decades to scholarship and public engagement focused on the study of policing in Nigeria, covering areas ranging from the history of Native Authority and Local Government police forces to contemporary issues surrounding decentralisation, accountability and police reform.

His pioneering research, publications and sustained advocacy have established him as one of Nigeria’s foremost historians of the police.

The University described his appointment as a well-deserved national recognition of his expertise and contribution to the study and development of policing in Nigeria.

The OAU community congratulated Professor Rotimi and the entire Policy Advisory Committee, wishing them success as they contribute to the drafting of the landmark legislation.

Great Ife remains proud of Professor Rotimi and his contribution to national development.
