Small But Mighty Prophecies and Realities in Animal Breeding:- Professor Sylvester Nzebunwa Ibe
PREAMBLE
In his inaugural lecture at
Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye on September 14, 2000, Professor
Emmanuel O. A. Ajayi, Professor of Educational Management, described inaugural
lecture as “an academic debt”. Yes, it is a debt, which every Professor owes
the universal academic community (the University). In another inaugural lecture
at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka on July 25, 2006, Professor Ignatius U.
Obi regarded an inaugural lecture as a “very important academic function”. That
was why, after I got the chair on May 23, 1996, I wrote to the then
Vice-Chancellor on March 10, 1998, indicating my desire and readiness to
deliver my inaugural lecture. The theme of today’s lecture, i.e., “Small but
mighty” was the same theme conceived in 1998. I did not have the opportunity to
“pay the price” for my hard-won professorship, to perform this important
academic function and promote this important component of University academic
culture, which, unfortunately, witnessed total collapse in the period between
1999 and early 2006. At a point, 1 thought I was not going to have the
opportunity to perform this ritual before I retire from the University.
