Ibietan wrote; “Congratulations! my coursemate, friend, brother and professional colleague, Yemi Aremo Adeyemi, Ph.D., fnipr
“Ever since our days at the MA Communication and Language Arts programme at the University of Ibadan, where we graduated 20 years ago, I knew you were headed this direction. It takes a rare spirit to obtain a Ph.D., especially given the hiatus between the MA and now.
“Like my story, this feat is coming much later than planned but I am happy you didn’t give up. I remember asking you for updates on this programme at our investiture as fellows of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations in 2022, because I never gave up on today’s possibilities.
“I thank God for engracing you to be one reason another person will be inspired to cast the net wider or thrust the hook deeper. Let’s roast the fishes, Bro. See you at the very top, Aburo mi. Ire ooo!”
