A staff member of Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti (EKSU), Dr. Omojola Awogbemi, has been ranked among the world’s top 2% of scientists in the subfield of Energy for 2025.

The global ranking was compiled by Stanford University in collaboration with Elsevier and published in the Elsevier Data Repository: John P.A. (2025), August 2025 data-update for “Updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators.”

Awogbemi, a Mechanical Engineer and Senior Chief Technologist at EKSU, earned the recognition for his outstanding scholarly contributions. His inclusion on the list has not only brought personal honour but also boosted the international visibility of the institution in the global academic community.

Awogbemi, who once served as Chairman of the university chapter of the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT), has continued to distinguish himself in the field of mechanical engineering and energy studies.

Reacting to the development, the Vice Chancellor of EKSU, Prof. Babatola Ayodele, congratulated Awogbemi, the Department of Mechanical Engineering, all technologists, and the university community on the feat.

Ayodele reiterated the institution’s commitment to excellence and honour, noting that the recognition was a testament to EKSU’s capacity to contribute to global scholarship. He encouraged other staff members to emulate Awogbemi by showcasing their research and scholarly work to enhance the university’s reputation.

The recognition was made public in a statement signed by the Deputy Registrar and Head of the Directorate of Information and Corporate Affairs, Dr. Bode Olofinmuagun.
