Professor Adegbulugbe is an ordained Pastor of Christ Apostolic Church.
He is also an accomplished energy expert with considerable experience in public and private sectors in Nigeria and also internationally.
Last June, Professor Adegbulugbe was selected by the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, for the first university award of excellence in research practice.
The award is a prestigious award given to an alumnus of the university with an outstanding record of knowledge-based accomplishment at global and national levels.
Professor Adegbulugbe was a contributor to intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Assessment Reports which won for the IPCC the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize along with US Vice President Al Gore.
