The mathematics professor, who is also a Director at the Christ Beyond Borders International (CBBI), United Kingdom, was appointed recently after scaling through a rigorous application process, while the appointment is expected to take effect from December 29, 2023 and would be for two years.
While reacting to the development, the founder and International Director of CBBI UK, Shepherd Paul Tunde Soile, described the appointment as well-deserved and highly meritorious given the uncommon brilliance and excellence Professor Jaiyeola has demonstrated in the mathematical world over the years.
He said the appointment is also a clear testament to Professor Jaiyeola’s versatility and enviable academic track records, which, he said, has continued to earn him commendations and honours across the globe.

Mrs Soile said Professor Jaiyeola has over the years distinguished himself as a purposeful and result-driven mathematician and deeply-rooted evangelist in the Celestial fold.
She said the appointment would no doubt spur the professor towards the attainment of greater heights in his professional career.
