At its award ceremony that brought together academic leaders, professionals, and public figures from across Africa, Heim Weldios University has conferred a prestigious Honorary Doctorate Degree in Psychology and Mental Health upon Dr. Temitope Aborisade, a US-based Nigerian psychologist.
The award, which represents the highest form of recognition from the university, celebrates Dr. Aborisade’s exceptional achievements in mental health practice, education, and research.
A highly accomplished academic, Dr. Aborisade holds a Bachelor’s, Master’s, finalizing his PhD in Psychology from Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Nigeria. His decades of academic work and experience in psychology have made significant contributions to both national and international mental health development.
In October 2022, he became a Fellow of the Commonwealth Academy of Leadership and Management (CALM), a UK-based institution promoting excellence in professional development.
Dr. Moshood Abioye, Director of Admissions at Heim Weldios University, praised Dr. Aborisade for his integrity and dedication.
“Dr. Aborisade is a scholar that should be emulated. He has not only been exceptional in his career but has also made significant contributions to the academic communities and the continent at large,” he stated.
The ceremony was also graced by Dr. Adeusi, CEO of Santhotad Concept Plus and a fellow OAU alumnus who received the honorary PhD last year. Dr. Adeusi expressed pride in Dr. Aborisade’s recognition, saying, “Seeing another OAU alumnus honoured at such a prestigious level fills me with joy. If it is from OAU, it must be of great quality and excellence.”
In his remarks, Dr. Aborisade expressed deep appreciation to the university for the honour.
“I am humbled and grateful for this recognition. It reaffirms my belief in the importance of service, scholarship, and the pursuit of societal impact,” he said.
The honorary doctorate awards are part of the university’s annual convocation, which celebrates excellence across disciplines including education, architecture, business, public service, and technology.
The event continues to strengthen Heim Weldios University’s position as a leading institution committed to academic innovation, leadership, and the transformation of Africa.
