Tunale University in the United States of American has confirmed that the Special Adviser on Health Matters to Kwara State Governor, Dr. Wale Sulaiman is not a certified professor.
He is said to be an “Adjunct Professor” at the institution’s medical school.

“Olawale Sulaiman is an Adjunct Professor of Neurosurgery at Tulane University School of Medicine, meaning hes a non-salaried volunteer faculty member. Please let me know if our office can be of any more assistance,” Carolyn said.
Recall, that there controversies had trailed the professorship status of Dr. Sulaiman following his appointment by the state governor.
The neurosurgeon who our correspondent reliably gathered worked with the last administration as board Chairman of Harmony Advanced Diagnostic Centre, during announcement of his appointment was said to be “a visiting Professor to many universities in the United States, Canada and Nigeria, among others,” though the statement by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye did not state the particular university that bestowed the don with a professorship.
In the official website of the Association of Nigerian Physician in The Americas, Dr. Sulaiman is said to have completed a combined MD/MSc degree at Medical University in Varna, Bulgaria.
He was said to have proceeded to University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta where he earned a PhD in neurosciences and then completed his neurosurgery residency at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Manitoba. However, this website was silent on him being a professor in any field nor being a visiting lecturer.
