The entire Thomas Adewumi University (TAU) campus community is proud to celebrate the publication of "State, Society, and Corruption in Africa: The Evolution of Corruption from the Pre-Colonial Period to the Present" by our mentor and legal luminary, Distinguished Professor Yusuf Olaolu Ali (SAN). Professor Ali who is our inaugural Public Lecturer, co-authored this landmark book with another distinguished African Scholar, Professor Abiodun Alao of King’s College London. 

Published by Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, this monumental work critically examines the historical trajectory and enduring impact of corruption on African state structures and institutions drawing on key countries across the continent, including Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Ethiopia, South Africa and Zimbabwe. Authored by two distinguished African scholars, this meticulously researched work will undoubtedly contribute significantly to academic discourse and policy reforms across the continent and beyond.

At TAU, we take immense pride in celebrating academic excellence, and we recognize Prof. Yusuf Olaolu Ali (SAN) not only as a renowned legal luminary but also as a visionary mentor to our Faculty of Law. This monumental work is a must read for all academics!
