On his Facebook page, Maxwell Adeyemi Adeleye explained his academic journey and thesis topic.
Sharing a clip from his defence, he said:
“Yesterday, 22nd May 2026, I successfully defended my PhD thesis at Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State, Nigeria.

“The study covered the period from 2015 to 2025, spanning the administration of Akinwunmi Ambode (2015–2019) and both terms of Babajide Sanwo-Olu (2019–2025). This enabled a longitudinal assessment of budgetary trends, policy implementation, and continuity across successive governments.
“Interestingly, within the course of my PhD journey, I also began and completed an additional Master’s degree in the United Kingdom for career advancement, bringing the total number of Master’s degrees on my résumé to three.
“At this moment, all glory, honour, and adoration belong to God, the Alpha and the Omega, the Starter and the Finisher, whose grace alone made it possible for me to climax, and attain the zenith of academic qualification on earth. This achievement was only possible through his unfailing grace. Maxwell A. Adeleye, PhD.”
