A key highlight of Prof. Adetunji's presentation was his vision for transforming the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of education at TAU. He advocated for lecturers to think like entrepreneurs, stressing the importance of diverse and innovative teaching methodologies for future educational needs.

Prof. Adetunji also discussed the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the job market, reassuring attendees that while AI will replace many jobs, it cannot replicate the unique capabilities of the human brain. He highlighted the importance of creativity, independent thinking, and emotional intelligence.
