THE FAMILY OF DR BABATUNDE ATANDA OYELEYE

He assumed duty as Assistant Lecturer in the then Faculty of Health Sciences on June 2 1986. He acquired additional qualifications and was promoted to the grade of Reader on October 1 2011. Dr Oyeleye retired from the University on September 8, 2014 after 28 years of meritorious service. He held several positions including Ag Head, Department of Nursing Science while in Ife. It is also on record that Dr Oyeleye was among the first set of students to graduate from our Department Nursing Science and the first alumnus to join the teaching staff of the department.

He would be remembered for his high sense of responsibility, leadership, humility, hard work, integrity, competence and very sound knowledge of Nursing.

We pray that the good Lord will comfort you all.

Lecturers are in loco parentis to students. Yes! Baba Oyeleye as we call him as students was a father you can be honest with whatever you were going through as a student. He is willing to talk to anyone for any challenge to be solved. Rest on in the Blossom of the Lord.

Baba Oyeyele, the father of all students, a place to run to as students. He was one of the founding fathers of NUNSA, and he was always there to support and guide the young ones as we navigated the terrain of student unionism.
May the good Lord comfort and be with the family. Baba, we missed you.

Baba Oyeleye was a humanitarian to the core. He disliked seeing his students in any form of discomfort; he would do everything within his power to ensure the students regain freedom. Helping seems to be his nature. May God almighty overlook whatever might be his transgressions and grant him eternal rest. Amen

Oga miiii, Baba Oyeleye, you came, you saw you conquered. I met Oga in the year 2015 when I joined the services of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti. He was A very peaceful man to work with, simple and east going, who will buy meat pie for us all every Monday on his return from Ife. Oga cannot hurt a fly . I thank God for a life well spent in the Nursing Profession because he impacted positively into the lives of many students. Adueu, my dear Oga, may your soul rest in perfect peace amen ❤️
 

Thank you dear daddy for being a good teacher and a caring father to us your students. You will be greatly missed daddy. May perpetual light shine on you and may the good Lord rest your gentle soul, amen.

Baba Oyeleye fondly called, a teacher of teachers. You were very friendly with we your students. Always ready to help. Your father figure in the department of Nursing Science Obafemi Awolowo University was always encouraging. We love you but Christ love you most. Sleep on Sir until resurrection day. May the holy spirit divine comfort your Dear Wife my lovely boss, your children and the entire family

Prof Oyeleye, a gentle but strong lecturer. He is my Public health and Community health professor . He has a unique calmness in and around him and he is a go to person when a student is in trouble. He helped me tremendously as a peacemaker when I ran into trouble with the administration as a Nursing student leader. We will miss you sir- Nuskaye
