Asiwaju Tinubu stated in a personal statement: “With this exceptional accomplishment, Prof. Aderinto has furthered his name in academic greatness and has also made Nigeria, Africa, and the entire Black race proud, for which we must all stay grateful to him.”

“I commend the Selection Committee of the International Award for recognizing the useful contributions of Prof. Aderinto to the study of history and for making an excellent pick.

“It is noteworthy that the Selection Committee eulogized the Nigerian, saying that in his work he “situates African history at the cutting edge of diverse literatures in the histories of sexuality, nonhumans, and violence, noting that it is exceptional to see a single person leading scholarship in all these fields.”

“This academic accomplishment speaks to the Nigerian can-do spirit and our ability to be the very best we can be wherever and in whatever field we find ourselves.”

“The award has again underscored the importance of the study of history in our schools.

“On my part, I will do all that is necessary to get our people to rise to any level they desire in all areas, including academia.”

“I congratulate Prof. Aderinto, our worthy ambassador. I hope and pray that this award spurs many of our young people to rise to the zenith in their careers.”
