Earlier, the Head of the Civil Engineering Department (Geotechnical Option) and leader of the delegation, Dr. Adekemi Ayodele described Engr.

Recalling that Bamgbose-Martins was among the first set of civil engineering graduates that were produced by the University, she urged him to continue lifting the good name of the institution and not relent in giving back to his alma mater.
