The event took place on Saturday, July 27, 2024, at the KAAF Auditorium, situated within the Department of Human Nutrition and Dietetics. This celebration was not just an academic gathering but a heartfelt tribute to a scholar who has left an indelible mark on the field of Library and Information Science.
The event was presided over by the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Professor Kayode Adebowale, who was represented by Professor Olufemi Adegbesan, Dean of the Faculty of Education.

The launch was graced by several notable figures, including:
<ul>
<li>Chief Saheed Ladele, the Baameko of Ibadanland</li>
<li>Chief Adeyemi Aramide, the Otun Atunluse of Ibadanland, represented by Honourable Abudu Kolawole</li>
<li>Honourable Dr. Wale Okediran, a respected poet, author, politician, and medical doctor</li>
<li>Dr. Tony Marinho, an acclaimed poet, author, activist, and medical doctor</li>
