Adediran Kayode Ademiju-Bepo

I worked as a journalist with the defunct Sketch Press Limited, Ibadan between 1993 and 2001 as production editor while pursuing my postgraduate studies. Moved over to Fountain Newspapers Limited, Ado-Ekiti as news editor and bureau chief, before leaving in 2002 to complete my PhD programme at the University of Ibadan. I eventually bagged the PhD in 2005 while working with the Nigerian Film Corporation, NFC, Jos, Nigeria.

I left the NFC in 2010 as head of industry support services and registrar, Motion Picture Council of Nigeria, MOPICON, working on the agency for the professionalisation of the burgeoning film Industry, and joined the University of Jos as a lecturer. I was announced Professor of Theatre and Film Studies in March 2021 with effect from 1 October 2019. I run a book publishing outfit, Dynastygold Impact Publishers, as a division of Dynastygold Global Impact Communications.
