Renowned economist and policy scholar, Dr. Stanislaus Ukeje, has weighed in on the complexities of public recognition and the interpretation of past events, emphasizing that honoring individuals should not be mistaken for sanctifying them.
Dr. Ukeje drew attention to a historic controversy at the University of Ibadan, which highlighted the intersections of religion, leadership, and influence in Nigeria’s academic and political history.
He recalled his days as a student when a dispute emerged over the presence of a cross at the Anglican Chapel on campus.
Speaking during an interview on Signature TV, he stated, “When you honor somebody for an event, it doesn’t mean that person is a saint. I was a student when there was a controversy about a cross. Muslims in the University of Ibadan said that the cross at the Anglican Chapel should be removed. That cross had been there in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. Abiola joined with the Executive Secretary of the National Investors Commission at that time, Dr. Aminu Kano, to support the Muslims. I don’t think that was a heroic thing,” Dr. Ukeje said.

His remarks highlight the nuanced ways in which historical actions can be interpreted.
According to him, figures like the late Chief Moshood Abiola and Dr. Aminu Kano both of whom played notable roles in the episode should be seen through a critical lens rather than unquestioned reverence.
Dr. Ukeje’s reflection comes at a time when the country continues to grapple with the legacies of its leaders, weighing their achievements against the broader social and cultural contexts of their decisions.
