Professor Tunde Akanni, a distinguished academic from Lagos State University (LASU), has received a prestigious induction as a Fellow in the Peace Studies program. This recognition is a testament to his extensive work and dedication in promoting peace and conflict resolution, which are critical areas of focus in today's society.

Currently on sabbatical at the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), Professor Akanni's induction has garnered attention not only for his academic excellence but also for the potential impact of his research on peacebuilding initiatives in Nigeria and beyond.
