About

A Distinguished Scholar & Institutional Innovator

“His story affirms that beginnings do not dictate endings — that innovation grounded in integrity can reshape institutions and lives.”

Professor Moses Adebowale Akanbi was born on March 21, 1971, in Isashi Town, Ojo LGA, Lagos State. His journey from a humble background to the summit of university academic leadership is a testament to faith, purpose, and transformation. While working at LASU as a Laboratory Assistant, a spiritual transformation redirected him to his true calling in mathematics.

He earned his B.Sc. (Second Class Upper) in Mathematics at LASU, M.Sc. at the University of Lagos, PGD in Computer Science, and his Ph.D. at the University of Agriculture, Abeokuta — followed by a Post-Doctoral Fellowship at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa. He has served LASU since 1998, rising through every academic rank to Full Professor in 2016, Head of Department in 2023, and Dean of the Faculty of Science in 2024.

The Inaugural Lecture

November 11, 2025

The Nature of Error:
Human Fallibility Versus Divine Infallibility in Computational Thought

“Every numerical method is a human attempt to approximate a divine truth. The error is not a flaw — it is the distance between what we are and what we aspire to become.”

Delivered at Lagos State University on Tuesday, 11th November 2025, this landmark lecture weaves together 28 years of research in numerical analysis, computational mathematics, and institutional leadership with profound theological and philosophical reflection. It explores the nature of human error — in computation, in society, and in life — against the backdrop of divine infallibility, using Runge–Kutta methods, pandemic modelling, and LASU’s digital transformation as case studies.

The lecture covers: Runge–Kutta innovations, SEIRD pandemic modelling, the LIDC digital revolution, error propagation theory, and a theology of computation. Published as LASU Inaugural Lecture Series No. 114, ISSN: 0794-7453, Lagos State University Press, 2025.
