Happy Birthday RMA

Dear Dr. Rasaq M. Adisa,

On this special day, October 2nd, we celebrate you—a distinguished scholar, mentor, and trailblazer in the field of Mass Communication. As an Associate Professor at the University of Ilorin, your illustrious academic journey, from earning your B.A. in Mass Communication at Bayero University, Kano, to your M.Sc. at the University of Lagos, and culminating in a Ph.D. from University Utara Malaysia, is a testament to your relentless pursuit of knowledge. Your contributions as a Course Material Writer for NOUN, Internal/External Examiner, Postgraduate Coordinator, and Visiting Associate Professor at Thomas Adewumi University, Oko, in addition to being the Blogshop Ambassador for Unilorin, reflect a career dedicated to shaping minds and advancing scholarship.

Your leadership as the National President of the Association of Academic Qualitative Research Likeminds (AAQREL) and Kwara State Chairman of the Association of Communication Scholars and Professionals of Nigeria showcases your commitment to fostering academic excellence and professional growth. As Managing Editor of the Department of Mass Communication Journal and a Research Resource Person for the Norwegian Research Institute in Kenya, your influence transcends borders, enriching global discourse. Your extensive publications in reputable journals, edited conference proceedings, and book chapters, alongside successfully supervising over 15 Master’s dissertations and a Ph.D. thesis, are a beacon of inspiration for aspiring scholars.

As a Fellow of AAQREL, and a longstanding member of prestigious bodies like the African Council of Communication Education (since 2003), the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (since 2000), and the Association of Communication Scholars and Professionals of Nigeria (since 2020), your impact on communication scholarship and practice is profound. Your service as a JAMB Supervisor and INEC Ward Collation Officer further underscores your dedication to civic engagement and nation-building.

Today, as you mark another year of life, we honor your legacy of excellence, mentorship, and service. May this birthday bring you joy, renewed strength, and boundless opportunities to continue illuminating the world with your wisdom and passion. Here’s to a year filled with health, prosperity, and even greater achievements!

With heartfelt wishes
