Profile
of the Outgoing VC
Felix
Idowu Anjorin was born September 19, 1946 in Orokere-Araromi, Yagba East LOA,
Kogi State. He accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior in 1956. He studied at the
Local Authority Primary Schools at Effo-Amuro and Mopo-Isanlu and at Provincial
Secondary School, Okene where he obtained a Division One School Certificate. He
subsequently obtained his higher school certificate of Cambridge at Government
Secondary School, Kano before proceeding to Ahmadu Bello University to study
Medicine and Surgery from 1968 to 1973 on Kwara State Government Scholarship.
As
a Consultant Physician and Cardiologist, Felix Anjorin has served at various times as Assistant Dean,
Post Graduate Studies, ABU Teaching Hospital, Zaria; Chairman, Plateau State
Nigerian Medical Association; Head of Department of Medicine and Radiology,
University of Jos and Sub-Dean Clinical of the Faculty of Medical Sciences,
University of Jos. While continuing his research efforts, he also worked as
Physician/Cardiologist at Shell Development Company Limited, Port Harcourt from
1996-2006 before joining Bingham University.
With
over 40 Journal Publications and Conference papers, Felix Anjorin is a Fellow
of National Post Graduate College and an elected Fellow of the West African
College of Physicians. He has been married to Florence Adebola Anjorin since
December 1973 and they are blessed with 5 children who are now adults pursuing
their various careers to the glory of God. Felix and Florence also have 6
grandchildren born to their children. They love the Lord Jesus Christ and
desire to continue serving Him as they serve humanity through the ministry of
Evangelical Church Winning All (ECW A) to young people in Bingham University.
Though Felix Anjorin has taken Bingham University to greater heights, but
his flaws must be pointed out. Under the administration of Felix Anjorin, poor
administration and practical approach to developmental initiative were below
the standard or reputation ECWA has built over the years through history. It was
under his administration that the students protested due to lack of basic
utilities for an unbearable period.
