Prof. Afejuku, a fellow of the Literary Society of Nigeria (LSN), is a public figure and an activist, who is equally a royalist and a Niger Deltan from the Itsekiri nationality of Delta State.
The frontline columnist with the flagship Newspaper, The Guardian, is a prose critic and stylist, and, above all, an eminent Niger Delta Poet.
Afejuku has been listed as a noteworthy English language and literature educator by Marquis Who’s Who.
In his welcome address, Prof. Felix Ogoanah of the Department of English and Literature (UNIBEN), extolled the uncommon qualities of the erudite scholar and appreciated all for celebrating Prof. Afejuku and family on the auspicious occasion of his retirement from service with unblemished record.
Another don in the department, Prof. kola Eke, while pouring accolade on his former colleague, described the retiree as a “a radar detector of linguistic infelicities, hitting at targets with bombs of critical appreciation. A chopper that goes round rudiments of language.”
