I take this news with a heavy heart!!! I came in contact with Professor Adeigbo when I was at the SS. Petr and Paul major Seminary, Bodija, Ibadan in the early 70's. Later in the late 70's I took his courses in Philosophy towards my B.A. combined Honors in Philosophy and Religious Studies at the University of Ibadan. My friend, Wale Olajide, now Professor of Philosophy at the University of Ado Ekiti, Nigeria and I always marveled at Professor Adeigbo's intellectual sagacity coupled with his amazing sense of humility and humor!!! Indeed Igi nla ti lo nigbo- May his gentle soul rest in peace!!! ....

It is with sadness that I announce the death of Professor (Mosignor) Adeigbo on May 13th. The news was broken to us in the company of his great friend, Professor Oyeshile of the University of Ibadan who is attending a conference in the Czech Republic.
Adeigbo specialized in social and political philosophy. He served for many years as the Head of the Dept. of Philosophy, University of Ibadan, and also as Dean of Faculty of Arts. At the time of his death, he was the Rector of of the Catholic Institute of West Africa in Port Harcourt.

A great teacher and mentor, he was responsible for producing a crop of PhD students who are now professors in their own right.

An amiable character and a fertile mind, his loss is a great one.
May his soul rest in peace.
